Ingredients

Chicken Pillows

2 (8-ounce) tubes refrigerated crescent rolls
3 cups cooked shredded chicken or canned chicken
1 (8-ounce) package softened cream cheese
¼ cup diced green onion optional
½ teaspoon garlic powder
⅓ cup unsalted butter melted
½ cup Italian bread crumbs

Chicken Gravy

1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
½ cup milk more if needed
¼ cup sour cream

Instructions

Chicken Pillows

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray 2 sheet pans with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine 3 cups cooked shredded chicken, 1 (8-ounce) package softened cream cheese, ¼ cup diced green onion, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder. Stir until well combined.
Open 2 (8-ounce) tubes refrigerated crescent rolls and separate the triangles. Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the wider end of the crescent roll.
Fold the sides of the dough over the chicken mixture and roll up the crescent roll. Pinch the dough around the chicken mixture to fully seal it. Repeat the method with the remaining crescents.
Melt ⅓ cup unsalted butter in a microwaveable bowl for about 40 seconds. Pour ½ cup Italian bread crumbs on a plate for easy dipping! Dip the top of each chicken pillow in the bowl of melted butter, followed by the plate of breadcrumbs.
Place the coated chicken pillows on the prepared pan. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the chicken pillows are golden brown.

Chicken Gravy

In a small saucepan, add 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup, ½ cup milk, and ¼ cup sour cream. Heat and stir over medium heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Add more milk if needed to reach the desired consistency.
Serve the gravy on the side or pour it over the warm chicken pillows and enjoy!
