  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 22 minute

Ingredients

– 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
– 1 cup cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
– ¼ cup butter, melted
– 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)


Instructions

Creating Chicken Pillows is simple with these easy-to-follow steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Unroll Dough: Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface. Separate into individual triangles.
4. Fill Dough: Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture at the wide end of each triangle.
5. Roll Up: Starting from the wide end, roll up each triangle tightly, tucking in the sides as you go to create a sealed pillow.
6. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the rolled pillows on a greased baking sheet, making sure they are spaced apart.
7. Brush with Butter: Use a pastry brush to apply melted butter over the tops of the pillows for a golden finish.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pillows are golden brown.
9. Cool Slightly: Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
10. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle with fresh parsley for a touch of color.

These steps will guide you in crafting the perfect Chicken Pillows that are bound to impress.
