Ingredients
For the chicken pillows:
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
1 can (8-count) crescent roll dough
1 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)
For the garlic parmesan sauce:
2 tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix chicken, cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and shredded cheese.
3. Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each, then fold corners over and pinch to seal like a pillow.
4. Place on baking sheet, brush tops with melted butter, and bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
5. While baking, make the sauce: melt butter in a saucepan, add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in flour and cook 1 more minute.
6. Whisk in milk, bring to a simmer, then stir in parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer until thickened.
7. Serve chicken pillows warm topped with garlic parmesan sauce.
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken to save time.
Add chopped spinach or bacon to the filling for a flavor twist.
Double the sauce if you want extra for dipping or pasta sides.
