Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz.) can Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
- 8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
- ¼ cup butter, room temperature
- 2-3 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 1 egg
- 1 sleeve Saltine or Ritz Crackers, crushed
- Sauce
- 2 tbsp. butter
- 3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tbsp. sour cream 1/
- 2 cup shredded cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese and butter until smooth; stir in the shredded chicken.
- Unroll the sheet of crescents, pinch the seams together and cut into 6 squares.
- Evenly divide the chicken mixture amongst the center of the crescent squares. Pinch the sides together to form a “pillow”.
- In a shallow bowl, beat the egg with 1 tsp. water. Place crushed crackers in a separate shallow bowl.
- Dip tops of pillows into egg wash and then into cracker crumbs. Set aside on a baking sheet; continue with remaining “pillows”. Bake about 20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
- For the Sauce: Melt butter in medium saucepan. Add flour and cook, whisking constantly for 1 minute. Gradually pour in chicken broth and milk, whisking constantly the whole time to prevent lumps. Cook over medium heat, about 3 minutes or until thickened. Take off heat and stir in shredded cheese until fully incorporated. Stir in sour cream to combine; set aside to serve as topping for “pillows”.
