There are a lot of different versions of this recipe out there. I actually adapted this version from 3 different recipes – my mom’s, my mother-in-law’s, and one from Alisa Bangerter whose recipe was on KSL news in 1998. This makes 8 large servings, but rarely do have have leftovers. My husband and two sons love them so much, they usually eat two each. I am also grateful Pillsbury finally figured out to make crescent creations. It’s the tubed crescent dough in one big sheet. No more pressing the seams together to make stuff. It made this so much easier.
Chicken Pillows
3-4 cups chicken, cooked and cubed
6 oz of cream cheese, softened
2 -4 tablespoons green onion, diced
6 oz of cream cheese, softened
2 -4 tablespoons green onion, diced
1/3 cup chopped mushrooms (I can’t add this cause no one likes mushrooms, except me)
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
ΒΌ teaspoon salt
Dash of pepper
2 cans of crescent rolls (I used the new crescent creations)
Bread crumbs
1 stick melted butter
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
ΒΌ teaspoon salt
Dash of pepper
2 cans of crescent rolls (I used the new crescent creations)
Bread crumbs
1 stick melted butter
In large bowl, mix together cream cheese, green onion, mushrooms, 2 Tbsp butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir in chicken and set aside. Open crescent rolls and carefully unroll dough. Separate each tube into 4 rectangles. Seal seam in center of each rectangle. Place one heaping tablespoon on half of each rectangle. Fold over other half of roll dough and seal edges, creating a pillow. Dip each pillow in melted butter and then bread crumbs. Place on baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with cream sauce.
Cream sauce:
1 can cream of chicken of chicken soup
1 cup sour cream
1/8 teaspoon curry powder
1 tablespoon mayo
Milk
1 cup sour cream
1/8 teaspoon curry powder
1 tablespoon mayo

You talk about milk in pillows and sauce but don’t list amount of milk. HELP!
I made these on Saturday for the first time and they were a huge hit at my house. These will definately be a new family staple. Thanks for the awesome recipe! I love your blog.
These are one of our family favorites too! My mom’s been making them for as long as I can remember.
These sound great!!!!
I have made these before and they are great, but next time I am definitely going to try your sauce. It looks wonderful!
I have not heard of Pillsburys crescent creations!! Well isn’t it about time for that! I love your blog! I just found it today and I will be back!!
Those Chicken Pillows looks delicious!
Looks like a tasty meal!! The pillows are the perfect name too!
I am so excited about the “Crescent Creations” also. I have two tubes in the fridge. I may try your Chicken Pillows this week with leftover turkey.
Laura this is brilliant and looks incredibly delicious! This one I’ve got to try!! Thanks.
yummy these look so good :0
No milk in the filling, just milk in the cream sauce. Then just use enough milk to make the sauce the consistency that you like it, probably at leat 1/4-1/2 cup milk.
this looks so good!! How much milk so you need for the filling? It doesn’t say.
Crescent creations – that sounds brilliant! There are so many recipes that call for pressing the seams together!
These pillows look great. I love doing things like this, they’re fun and tasty! And I really like the idea of doing a sauce to go over them.
I love chicken clouds, bundles, pillows…whatever you want to call them. They remind me of home growing up. Thanks for the reminder to make these.
