Cheesy chicken runzas ....new revised.  I like this one even better.  On green plan it is 8 points with cheddar cheese and philly chive and onion cream cheese spread in it, or 8 points without the cheddar cheese.  The points are for the Runza only.  I made caramel dip to go with it that was 2 points to spread on the crisp sugarbee apples.  I’ll add that recipe below also.

Ingredients for one runza:

1 frozen Texas Rise and Bake Rhodes roll ( in freezer section of grocers)

1 Tablespoon Philadelphia chive and onion cream cheese spread

2 ounces shredded cooked chicken

1 tsp low-fat milk

1/4 ounce finely grated cheddar cheese

Egg wash, tiny amount just whisk an egg and brush a tiny amount on the top before baking

A few pieces of shaved Parmesan for on top after the egg wash

Egg wash is so small and the parmesan shaved cheese too, that I could not count it.  

Seasonings I used. A dash of Lawry’s seasoned salt, pepper, garlic powder, a TEENY dash of dill weed.  Use what you like! I make ham Runzas and beef runzas too!  You can do anything inside these yummy Runza rolls.


Make the rise and bake Rhodes roll as stated on the package. Let dough rise fully and then flatten with a rolling pin into a circle. Mix  ingredients from above ingredients other than the egg wash and Parmesan cheese as they go on top before sliding in the oven.


Place your mixed chicken and cheese mixture on one side of the flattened Rhodes roll.  Fold in half and pinch the edges closed with a fork.  Brush egg wash on top and place a few pieces of Shaved Parmesan on top if you’d like.  Place in oven at 350 degrees and bake for 17 minutes or until golden brown.  Yum!
