Ingredients
- 2 cup cooked and shredded chicken
- 8 ounce cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 package crescent roll dough
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (optional)
- 1 large egg
- 4 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, pepper, and melted butter. Mix until the filling is well-incorporated and creamy.
3. Unroll the crescent dough and cut it into squares. Place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of each square. Fold the dough over the filling, creating a pillow shape, and seal the edges. Brush the tops of the pillows with the beaten egg and, if desired, sprinkle with panko breadcrumbs for an extra crispy texture.
4. Arrange the assembled Chicken Pillows on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
5. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually pour in the milk and heavy cream, whisking continuously until the sauce is smooth and thickened. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and cook until the cheese is melted and the sauce is velvety.
6. Drizzle the warm, Creamy Parmesan Sauce over the freshly baked Chicken Pillows and savor every bite.
