# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
02 -
In a medium bowl, blend shredded cooked chicken with softened cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley until evenly combined.
03 -
Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into individual triangles.
04 -
Spoon a portion of the chicken mixture onto the center of each dough triangle. Fold dough over filling and pinch edges to seal, forming pillow shapes.
05 -
Brush each pillow evenly with melted butter and coat with seasoned bread crumbs.
06 -
Arrange on prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown.
07 -
While pillows bake, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds. Whisk in flour and cook until bubbly, about 1 minute. Gradually add milk while whisking until smooth. Stir in grated Parmesan and cook until cheese melts and sauce thickens, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
08 -
Spoon warm garlic Parmesan sauce generously over hot chicken pillows and serve immediately.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Ensure crescent rolls are fully sealed to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
