Description
These Tender Chicken Pillows with Creamy Parmesan Sauce are the ultimate comfort food—soft, flaky pastry wrapped around a creamy, savory chicken filling, baked to golden perfection and topped with a rich Parmesan sauce.
Ingredients
For the Chicken Pillows:
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
For the Creamy Parmesan Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet.
In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles.
Place a spoonful of chicken mixture onto each piece of dough.
Fold and seal the dough around the filling to form “pillows.”
Dip each pillow in melted butter, then coat with breadcrumbs.
Place on baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Whisk in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes.
Gradually add milk, whisking until smooth and thickened.
Stir in Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Serve warm chicken pillows topped with creamy Parmesan sauce.
Notes
Seal the dough (very tightly) to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
