Chicken Dish

Very good. I used cooked chicken breast and canned chicken rather than the baked and deboned. In the future, I would not put the cheese on at the beginning of the baking. Rather I would bake the dish for about 25-30 minutes then top with the cheese to melt the last 5. I felt that the cheese being on the top inhibited the rolls from baking completely. the edges that were not covered with cheese were very flaky while the cheese covered areas seemed a bit soggy.
