Ingredients
  • 1 (8 oz.) can Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
  • ¼ cup butter, room temperature
  • 2-3 cups cooked and shredded chicken
  • 1 egg
  • 1 sleeve Saltine or Ritz Crackers, crushed
  • Sauce
  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • 3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 tbsp. sour cream 1/
  • 2 cup shredded cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese and butter until smooth; stir in the shredded chicken.
  3. Unroll the sheet of crescents, pinch the seams together and cut into 6 squares.
  4. Evenly divide the chicken mixture amongst the center of the crescent squares. Pinch the sides together to form a “pillow”.
  5. In a shallow bowl, beat the egg with 1 tsp. water. Place crushed crackers in a separate shallow bowl.
  6. Dip tops of pillows into egg wash and then into cracker crumbs. Set aside on a baking sheet; continue with remaining “pillows”. Bake about 20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
  7. For the Sauce: Melt butter in medium saucepan. Add flour and cook, whisking constantly for 1 minute. Gradually pour in chicken broth and milk, whisking constantly the whole time to prevent lumps. Cook over medium heat, about 3 minutes or until thickened. Take off heat and stir in shredded cheese until fully incorporated. Stir in sour cream to combine; set aside to serve as topping for “pillows”.
