Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Pillows
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, sliced green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix until well-combined.
  3. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface, separating into triangles or cutting sheets into squares.
  4. Place about 2 tablespoons of chicken filling at the wide end of each triangle and fold the dough over, pinching edges tightly.
  5. Melt some butter and brush it over the tops of the Chicken Pillows. Coat each with seasoned breadcrumbs.
  6. Place the Chicken Pillows onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  7. In a saucepan, melt butter and whisk in flour. Gradually add chicken broth and half-and-half, stirring until thick.
  8. Stir in Parmesan cheese and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  9. Let the Chicken Pillows cool slightly before serving. Drizzle with the creamy Parmesan sauce.
