Ingredients
  

  • 2 8-ounce tubes refrigerated crescent rolls (for wrapping)
  • 3 cups cooked shredded chicken or canned, drained
  • 1 8-ounce package cream cheese (softened)
  • ¼ cup green onion diced, optional
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder for seasoning
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter melted, for coating
  • ½ cup Italian bread crumbs for coating
  • 1 10.5-ounce can cream of chicken soup (for gravy)
  • ½ cup milk for gravy, more if needed
  • ¼ cup sour cream for gravy

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray 2 sheet pans with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, green onions, and garlic powder. Stir until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Open crescent roll tubes and separate triangles. Place about 2 tablespoon chicken mixture at the wide end of each triangle.
  4. Fold sides over filling and roll up, pinching edges to seal completely. Repeat with remaining crescents.
  5. Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl, about 40 seconds. Spread breadcrumbs on a plate. Dip the top of each pillow in melted butter, then coat with breadcrumbs.
  6. Place coated chicken pillows on prepared pans and bake for 10–15 minutes until golden brown.
  7. For gravy, combine cream of chicken soup, milk, and sour cream in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring until warmed and smooth, about 5 minutes. Adjust milk for desired consistency.
  8. Serve the chicken pillows with gravy poured over or on the side.
