Instructions
Creating Chicken Pillows with Creamy Parmesan Sauce is simple. Follow these steps for a delicious meal:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Roll Out Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface. Separate the triangles and press each triangle into a bigger triangle to form a larger surface.
4. Fill Dough: Spoon some of the chicken mixture onto the larger triangle.
5. Fold and Seal: Fold the edges of the triangle over the filling. Pinch the seams to seal tightly. Place sealed pillows on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Bake: Bake the chicken pillows in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Prepare Sauce: In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese over low heat. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly. Add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
8. Serve: Once the chicken pillows are done and golden, remove them from the oven. Drizzle or pour the creamy Parmesan sauce over the pillows.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top before serving for an appealing touch.
