Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking sheet to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, mix cooked shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, salt, and pepper until creamy.
  3. Unroll and separate refrigerated crescent rolls into triangles.
  4. On the wide end of each triangle, place a tablespoon of the chicken mixture and fold to form a pillow shape.
  5. Dip each pillow in melted butter then roll in seasoned breadcrumbs.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  7. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, whisk in flour, cooking until bubbly to form a roux.
  8. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk, simmering for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
  9. Stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  10. Plate the warm pillows, drizzling with creamy Parmesan sauce before serving.
