Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken, shredded
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 4 tbsp Butter, melted
- 2 tbsp Green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Pepper
- 0.25 tsp Garlic powder
- 8 pieces Crescent roll dough (store-bought)
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 can Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, green onions, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles as per the package instructions.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each dough triangle.
Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling and roll it up to seal completely, forming a pillow shape.
Dip each chicken pillow in the remaining melted butter, ensuring it's lightly coated, then roll it in the breadcrumbs to create a crispy outer layer.
Arrange the coated chicken pillows seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken pillows from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad for a complete meal.
