Description
Cheesy Chicken Pillow Delight is a scrumptious recipe that combines tender shredded chicken with creamy cheeses, all wrapped in flaky crescent roll dough. These savory pillows are perfect for a comforting family dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
For the filling:
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
For assembling:
- 2 (8 oz) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and parsley until well combined.
- Assemble the pillows: Unroll the crescent dough and separate into individual triangles. Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center of each triangle. Fold the corners up and around the filling to form a “pillow,” sealing all edges.
- Bake: Place each pillow seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter and, if desired, sprinkle with breadcrumbs for extra crunch. Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut.
- You can swap cheddar with mozzarella or pepper jack for a different flavor.
- Serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a full meal.
