Chicken Pillows Recipe

"Chicken Pillows"

When I had my first child, my cousin in law come over to make us dinner for our first night home. She made something she found on Pinterest called Chicken Pillows. She told me how she made them but I had nearly forgotten by the time I went to make them myself. Since then, I have perfected a version of my own that I will share!


Ingredients:

4 tubes of Crescent Rolls

I used a tray of 10 chicken breast tenderloins

1/2 cup sour-cream

2 cups of shredded cheese, your choice of the flavor. I used Colby.

1 box of cream cheese

1 can of cream of chicken soup

2 table spoons of chopped garlic

Directions:

1. Boil the chicken tenderloins until they are cooked thoroughly. 
2. Drain the excess water from the chicken with a strainer and put it in a large mixing bowl. 
3. Add the cream cheese, shredded cheese, garlic, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream o the bowl with the chicken in it.
4. Use a hand mixer on low to mix all of the ingredients together until it is thoroughly mixed with the chicken shredded and blended among the other ingredients evenly blended. 
5. Unwrap the crescent rolls and instead of separating them into the triangles, separate them into squares by leaving two triangles together to form the square. 
6. Place the squares one at a time on greased cookie sheet . 
7. Place a scoop of the chicken filling into each square , enough that you will still be able to fold over the edges of the crescent roll.
8. You will need to take each corner of the crescent roll and fold it over the chicken filling until all gaps are sealed. 
9. Now you need to flip the chicken pillow over so that the seams you made with the pastry and place them on the cookie an inch apart as you go. 
10. I managed to fit 6 pillows on each sheet .
11. Place them into the oven at 300 degrees and bake them until they are golden in color.

Options:

• Brush lightly with garlic butter
• Serve with chicken gravy poured over the pillows
