Chicken Pillows :)

Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum 

That was ALL I heard last night at the dinner table. I made this recipe last night and let me tell you, it is AMAZING. The recipe itself is very easy. The most difficult thing being actually keeping the chicken mixture inside the crescent roll. But it can be done and this dish turns out absolutely amazing. I served with brown rice and green beans with mushrooms. See my notes at the bottom for how I adapted the recipe!!!! Click on the SOS Soup Mix link at the bottom to get the recipe. 

YUMMY!!!!



Chicken Pillows

adapted from Recipezaar.com

Sauce
2 (8 ounce) cans Pillsbury Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can 98% fat free cream of chicken soup, undiluted***
3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese or swiss cheese (or any cheese of choice)
1/2 cup milk ***

Filling
4 ounces cream cheese - Softened
2 tablespoons butter - softened
1/2-1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tsp minced onion flakes
2 large cooked chicken breasts, finely chopped (or use about 2 cups, can use cooked turkey)
1/2-3/4 cup finely grated cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp seasoning salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper (or to taste)
2 Tbsp. milk
1-2 cup grated cheddar cheese (for topping)


Ready - Set - Make
Set oven to 350°F. 
Spray a 9x13 dish with cooking spray. 
Mix together milk, 3/4 cup cheese and undiluted chicken soup (or SOS) - Set ASIDE
For the filling -- 

Mix the soft cream cheese with butter until very smooth, then add in garlic powder. 
Add in the chopped chicken, onion and cheddar cheese; mix well until combined. 
Add in 2 tablespoons milk; mix to combine (I didn't use) 
Season with seasoned salt or white and black pepper to taste. 
Unroll the crescent rolls. 
Place 1 heaping tablespoon chicken mixture on top of each crescent triangle, then roll up starting at the thicker end. 
Drizzle a small amount of soup mixture on the bottom of the dish. 
Place the crescent rolls seam-side down on top of the creamed mixture in the casserole. 
Drizzle the remaining sauce on top (you don't have to use the full amount of cream sauce, just use as much as desired)
Sprinkle with 1 cup (or more) grated cheese, or amount desired. 

Bake for about 30 minutes. 



*** I used the SOS soup mix instead of the cream of chicken soup. Also I left the milk out of the recipe
because the SOS was the right consistency***
