Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 2 cups Cooked, shredded chicken breast (Substitute rotisserie chicken for convenience.)

  • 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs (Panko breadcrumbs can be used for extra crunch.)

  • 1 packet Chicken gravy mix (Homemade gravy can replace the mix for a fresher taste.)

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.

  3. Unroll the crescent roll dough and press two triangles together to form rectangles.
  4. Spoon a generous portion of the creamy chicken filling into each rectangle and seal the edges.
  5. Dip each filled dough ball in melted butter, then roll in Italian breadcrumbs.
  6. Place the coated Chicken Pillows on the baking sheet and bake for 22 to 25 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Prepare the gravy by combining cream of chicken soup, chicken gravy mix, and water in a saucepan over medium heat.
