Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

• You could use turkey instead of chicken. You could swap the cream of chicken soup for a Cream of Mushroom soup. This will change the flavor slightly, but will allow for a more customizable dish.
• If you don’t have any chicken breasts or thighs on-hand, you can opt for an in-store rotisserie chicken to save on time while preserving the juicy goodness of the chicken itself.
• If you want to create a luxe comforting roll-up dish, consider swapping the milk for heavy cream. Keep in mind that heavy cream is higher in fat and calories.
• If you don’t have any chicken broth on hand, consider using chicken bouillon cubes, which can be turned into broth in just a few minutes with water.
• If someone in your household is gluten-free, you can swap the traditional AP, or All-Purpose flour, for almond or coconut flour. Another homemade chicken roll ups ideas includes using a protein powder. Using an unflavored protein powder is also possible if you’re on a low-carb diet or prefer an alternative to traditional flours.
