These were absolutely delicious!
Broccoli and chicken in a creamy cheesy cheddar sauce rolled in bread dough! These are cut just the way you would cut cinnamon rolls and baked until lightly browned. One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time and definitely a HUGE hit with the whole family!

Broccoli Chicken Bread Rolls
These were absolutely delicious!
Ingredients:
- 1 Loaf Frozen bread dough
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
- 2 1/4 cups milk
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 cups chopped cooked chicken
- 3-4 cups fresh broccoli
Directions:
- Defrost bread dough according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter. Add flour and stir in milk, salt and mustard powder. Cook over medium heat until thick and bubbly. Remove from heat and add in 1 1/2 cups cheese. Stir just until melted. Set aside 1/2 cup cheese sauce.
- Slightly steam broccoli so it is still crisp (about 4 minutes). Combine cheese sauce, chicken, and broccoli.
- Roll out bread dough into a 12″ by 15″ rectangle. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheddar and spread chicken mixture over top. Roll dough so you have an 18″ long log. Cut into 10 even rolls (as you would roll and cut cinnamon rolls). Top with the sauce you had set aside and extra cheese if desired.
- Place into a greased 9×13 pan cover and let rise about 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake 25 minutes or until browned on top.

Do these freeze well?
I haven’t tried freezing this recipe.
Can you use cream cheese instead of milk?
I have only made the recipe as written, so can’t say for sure. Please let us know if you try it Fran!
I made these rolls today but instead of using 2 cups of cheese (670 calories) in the white sauce, I stirred in 1/4 of nutritional yeast (60 calories) and almond milk(60 calories per 2 cups) instead of regular milk(300 calories per 2 cups). I huge calorie and lactose reduction.
I also made my own bread dough using white wheat flour instead of all purpose for extra nutrition.
They are delicious!
instead of cutting it i did it as a loaf then cut when done it was good just took a little longer to cook
That’s a great idea Connie, thank you for sharing!
Was okay. Took me over 30 minutes to cook it and brown the tops.
