- 4 tablespoons Melted Butter

Instructions

- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cream cheese, green onions, salt, and pepper until well-blended.
- Unroll the crescent rolls and separate them into triangles.
- Place a tablespoon of the filling at the wide end of each triangle and fold to create a pillow shape, sealing the edges.
- Dip each pillow in melted butter and then roll in breadcrumbs.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- In a saucepan, melt butter, whisk in flour to form a roux, then slowly add chicken broth and milk, cooking until thickened.
- Stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Serve the baked pillows drizzled with creamy sauce.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken works great for convenience.
- Softened cream cheese mixes easily.
- Gluten-free dough can be used for crescent rolls.
- Plain breadcrumbs can be jazzed up with herbs.
- Vegetable broth can be substituted for chicken broth.
- Non-dairy milk is a perfect alternative.
- Freshly grated Parmesan gives the best flavor.
