Crescent Dough: Any variety will work ( ex: fat free, low fat, etc). I preferred Pillsbury, but, any other brand will work just fine.

Alfredo Sauce: Use your favorite jarred version or homemade. See the recipe card for links to both of our favorites.

How to Make:

  • First, mix together cooked chicken and dried spices.
  • Remove crescent rolls from the package. Take two crescent triangles and press seams together to create a rectangle.
  • Fill each rectangle with approx 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture.
  • Bring corners of dough into middle of chicken mixture. Then, fold up around completely, creating a ball. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Dip each ball into the melted butter, then, coat with bread crumbs. Place on prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake.
  • Let them cool for 5-8 minutes before serving.
  • Top each pillow with warm Alfredo sauce and if desired, chives before serving.

Note: If desired, you can serve these without the topping of Alfredo sauce. They are still delicious. 😉
