3. Bake
Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
4. Make the Creamy Parmesan Sauce
While the pillows bake, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in milk and cook until thickened, 3–5 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and a touch of nutmeg or garlic powder, if desired.
5. Serve
Spoon the warm Parmesan sauce over freshly baked chicken pillows and serve immediately. Garnish with chopped parsley or extra Parmesan if you like.
Tips & Variations
Add vegetables: Stir in sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or chopped broccoli to the filling.
Go spicy: Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce to the sauce.
Make it mini: Cut crescent dough smaller and make appetizer-sized pillows for parties.
Use puff pastry: For a flakier, fancier alternative, swap crescent dough for puff pastry sheets.
Perfect Pairings
Serve your chicken pillows with:
Roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad
Garlic mashed potatoes or rice pilaf
Steamed asparagus or green beans
A crisp white wine like Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio
