Ingredients

  • 2 tubes crescent rolls *8 count tubes, you'll have 16 crescents
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 3 cups chicken *cooked/shredded
  • 1 egg
  • 1 sleeve saltine crackers *crushed
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup *10.5oz can
  • 1/4 cup milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400.
  • Mix together butter and cream cheese in a medium bowl. Once smooth, add in chicken. Mix until combined.
  • On a cookie sheet, spread out crescents and stretch them. Take a few spoonfuls of chicken mixture and place it in the middle of the crescent. Fold the crescent around the mixture so none is showing. This is why it is called “pillows”. Once crescents are filled, you should have 16.
  • In a small bowl, mix together 1 egg and 2 tablespoon water until combined.
  •  In another small bowl, place your crushed saltine crackers.
  • Take each chicken pillow and dip in the egg mixture followed by the saltine cracker mixture. Place chicken pillow back on the cookie sheet.
  • Bake in oven about 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, mix cream of chicken soup and milk in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Stir until combined and thoroughly warm.
  • After chicken pillows are cooked, serve on plate with warm “gravy” mixture on top!!
