Description

Crispy, golden pillows filled with creamy chicken goodness, paired with savory gravy, perfect for a cozy family meal or a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
8 oz cream cheese
2 stalks green onions, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
1 can crescent roll dough (8 rolls)
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease lightly with cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly combined and creamy.
Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Fold the edges up and over to seal, forming a neat pillow.
Place the assembled pillows on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
While the pillows bake, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbly. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Remove the pillows from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with gravy poured over the top.

Notes

[‘Don’t overstuff the pillows to avoid leaking during baking.’, ‘Seal the edges tightly, pressing down with a fork for extra security.’, ‘Let the pillows cool for 5-10 minutes after baking to set the filling.’, ‘Add fresh parsley or chives for garnish and extra flavor.’]
