Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups shredded chicken I use rotisserie
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan
  • 2 cloves garlic pressed or minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ cup chopped green onion
  • 2 packages crescent rolls
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • ¼ cup Italian breadcrumbs

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
  2. Combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, parmesan, milk, garlic, oregano, basil, thyme, and green onion in a large bowl, and mix until combined.
  3. Unroll the crescent rolls and press the diagonal seams together. Then separate them into 4 equal rectangles. Repeat with the second package.
  4. Fill each rectangle with 1/8 of the chicken mixture, then pull the edges over the top and close to make a round pillow. Repeat with remaining pieces, and then place each one seam side down on a greased baking sheet.
  5. Brush the top of each pillow with butter then sprinkle with bread crumbs.
  6. Bake for 18-23 minutes or until the dough is cooked and the tops are golden brown.

Notes

  • Tip 1: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
  • Tip 2: You can freeze the uncooked pillows. Just assemble them, freeze on a baking sheet, and then transfer them to a freezer bag for future baking.
  • Tip 3: Serve with a light soup or a hearty salad for a complete meal.
  • Tip 4: You can use different types of cheese for varied flavors. Consider using goat cheese or feta for a twist.
  • Tip 5: Add some spices to the filling for an extra kick, such as crushed red pepper or smoked paprika.
