Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it9s ready when the pillows go in.
- In a medium bowl, mix your shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, and that tablespoon of butter. Add the dried chives and dried minced onion, then salt and pepper. Stir it all until it9s blended well and smells inviting.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate each triangle like little pockets waiting to get stuffed.
- Place a spoonful of your chicken mixture at the wide end of each triangle. Don9t go crazy with filling or it will spill out when rolling.
- Roll up each triangle starting at the wide end, forming those perfect crescent shapes. Make sure you pinch the edges well to seal everything inside.
- Lay your rolled crescents on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the tops with the melted butter for that golden, glossy finish as it bakes.
- Bake for about 15 minutes or until they9re golden brown and puffed up.
- While they bake, warm up the cream of chicken soup in a small saucepan on low heat, stirring gently so it doesn9t burn.
- When the crescents come out, roll each one in Italian breadcrumbs to coat them lightly.
- Serve warm with the chicken soup poured over or on the side for dipping.
Notes
Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to skip the shredding step. Swap dried herbs for fresh chopped chives or green onions. Instead of Italian breadcrumbs, crushed crackers or cornflakes work well for coating. Don9t sweat it if you don9t have cream cheese softened; microwave for 15 seconds to soften quickly.
