This delicious recipe for Chicken Pillows is a creamy chicken mixture wrapped inside crescent rolls, rolled in breadcrumbs, and baked until golden brown. This is an easy and tasty dinner recipe!
I love this recipe because it is so quick and easy to make but tastes so good! We probably have this for dinner at least once a month.

The ingredients are simple:
Chicken
Cream Cheese
Butter
Green Onions
Salt & Pepper
Milk
Package of refrigerated crescent rolls
Italian bread crumbs
You just cook the chicken and chop it. Then mix it together with cream cheese, a tiny bit of butter, green onions, salt, pepper, and a touch of milk. Then take that delicious mixture and wrap it around a rectangle of crescent dough, roll it up, top with butter and bread crumbs then bake!
The perfect tasty quick dinner!

Ooh yum! I used to eat these growing up, but it’s been ages since I had one. I might need to fix that right away!
I had a roomate who would make these for her fiance, and he would talk about them nonstop. I am so excited to have the recipe now! Thanks Becky, this blog is really fun to read and learn from.
