The problem is, a lot of recipes are things my kids won't go near, or that aren't cost effective. Easy is nice, but in these times, food storage friendly or especially budget friendly is key.

Chicken Basil Roll -Ups
1 pkg Crescent Rounds (these are new to me- they roll up round like a cinnamon roll, instead of triangular)
Filling:
1 can chunk chicken, drained (you could also use leftover chicken- just shred it)
1 cup ricotta
1-2 tablespoons basil pesto
1/2 cup- 1 cup grated mozzarella
(you could also mince up a mushroom or two and add into it, or even some green onion would be good)
Unroll each roll. Carefully spread a thick layer of filling on each section. Re-roll. Place filled rounds in a glass baking dish that has been sprayed lightly with non-stick spray. They will look like filled cinnamon rolls.
Bake at 350 until crescents are slightly browned, mine took about 20-25 minutes.
The "rolls" are great as is- or you can do what I did and make an accompanying "dip", using minced black olive and finely chopped tomatoes mixed together, seasoned with a dash or two of garlic salt.
Serve with a green salad.
(NOTE: Even my kids liked this one, and that is saying something...)

Oh I'm glad you added a photo! Yum!
