Preheat oven to 375° F. Prepare baking sheet by spraying with non-stick spray or lining with parchment paper. Set aside.

Remove rolls from can and separate into 8 triangles. Top each triangle with heaping Tablespoonful of chicken mixture. Roll up each triangle, starting with wide end, and then tucking other ends underneath.
Dredge chicken roll-ups in bread crumbs and place seam-side down on prepared baking sheet. Continue with rest of rolls.
Bake at 375° F for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool on baking sheet for 3-4 minutes before serving.
Optional Cheese Sauce:
Melt butter in small pan over medium-high heat. Whisk in flour until lightly browned. Gradually whisk in milk until slightly thickened. Whisk in cheese, small handfuls at a time, letting cheese melt in between batches. Keep stirring until smooth and thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
