Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 oz each) Seamless dough sheets can also be used.
  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper or to taste
  • 3 tbsp butter melted
  • 1/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, milk, shredded chicken, chopped chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
  3. Unroll the crescent dough and separate into 8 rectangles (press seams of 2 triangles together if necessary). Spoon about ¼ cup of the chicken mixture onto the center of each rectangle.
  4. Fold the corners of the dough over the filling and pinch the seams tightly to seal. Place the pillows seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Brush the tops of the pillows with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with seasoned breadcrumbs.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the dough is cooked through. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Tip 1: For extra rich flavor, you can add 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese to the filling.
Tip 2: Ensure the crescent dough seams are sealed very well to prevent the creamy filling from leaking during baking.
