Chicken-Pillows-with-Creamy-Parmesan-Sauce

Chicken Pillows with Creamy Parmesan Sauce – Delicious Meal

Ingredients

– 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
– 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
– 1 tablespoon chopped chives
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 cans (8 ounces each) crescent roll dough

🧄 Sauce
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 cup chicken broth
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– Cooking spray or melted butter for brushing

Instructions

➡️ Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
➡️ In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, chopped chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
➡️ Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in the center of each triangle and fold the dough over the filling, pinching the edges to seal and form a pillow shape.
➡️ Place the prepared chicken pillows on the baking sheet, leaving space between each. Brush the tops with cooking spray or melted butter for a golden finish.
➡️ Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
➡️ While the chicken pillows are baking, prepare the creamy Parmesan sauce. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
➡️ Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream, ensuring there are no lumps, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
➡️ Add the grated Parmesan cheese and nutmeg, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is thickened. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.
➡️ Remove the chicken pillows from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
➡️ Serve the chicken pillows drizzled with the creamy Parmesan sauce, or on the side for dipping.
