Ingredients
Scale
- 10 ounces cooked, shredded chicken breast (about 2 cups)
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon salted butter, softened
- 1/2 tablespoon dried chives
- 1/2 tablespoon dried minced onion
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/4 cup salted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 1 can (10 ounces) cream of chicken soup
- 1 packet (1 ounce) chicken gravy mix
- 3/4 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Mix cream cheese and softened butter until smooth, then stir in shredded chicken, chives, onion, salt, and pepper.
- Press crescent triangles into four rectangles, sealing perforations.
- Divide chicken mixture evenly onto rectangles and fold corners over filling to form balls.
- Dip each pillow into melted butter, then coat with breadcrumbs.
- Place on baking sheet and bake 22 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
- Whisk cream of chicken soup, gravy mix, and water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, then simmer until thickened.
- Serve warm chicken pillows topped with gravy.
Notes
- Seal crescent dough seams tightly to prevent filling from leaking.
- Do not overfill the dough to keep the pillows sealed.
- Use rotisserie chicken for added flavor.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven to maintain crisp texture.
Food safety: if you cook the chicken yourself, make sure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), as recommended by the USDA and Health Canada.
