- 2 cups Shredded Chicken (Use rotisserie chicken for convenience.)
- 8 oz Cream Cheese (Ensure it’s softened.)
- 1 cup Green Onions (Sliced; chives can be substituted.)
- 1 package Crescent Roll Dough (Puff pastry can be an alternative.)
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs (Using seasoned breadcrumbs enhances flavor.)
- 4 tablespoons Butter (Melted; olive oil can be used.)
- 2 tablespoons Flour (Corn starch for a gluten-free option.)
- 1 cup Chicken Broth (Use vegetable broth for a vegetarian option.)
- 1 cup Half-and-Half (Coconut cream as a dairy-free alternative.)
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese (Freshly grated for best flavor.)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, sliced green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix until well-combined.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface, separating into triangles or cutting sheets into squares.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of chicken filling at the wide end of each triangle and fold the dough over, pinching edges tightly.
- Melt some butter and brush it over the tops of the Chicken Pillows. Coat each with seasoned breadcrumbs.
- Place the Chicken Pillows onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- In a saucepan, melt butter and whisk in flour. Gradually add chicken broth and half-and-half, stirring until thick.
- Stir in Parmesan cheese and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Let the Chicken Pillows cool slightly before serving. Drizzle with the creamy Parmesan sauce.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken saves time.
