Chicken Pillows

Evan really like these last night and actually ate them…so I had to share the recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 pkg (8 oz.) cream cheese
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. pepper
• 1 1/2 tbsp. dried chives
• 1 1/2 tbsp. fresh onion, minced (I used dried onion)
• 3 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
• 2 (8 oz.) cans crescent rolls
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• Italian breadcrumbs
• 1 (14.5 oz.) cream of chicken soup
• 1 pkg chicken gravy mix

Directions:

Using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese and sour cream until well combined.  Stir in salt, pepper, onion, chives, and diced chicken.

Using the crescent rolls, take 2 triangular rolls and push together at perforated seam to make a square.  Make sure to seal perforations well so filling does not come out.  Put about 3 tablespoons of chicken mixture forming a pillow.

Dip each pillow in melted butter on both sides.  Roll in breadcrumbs on both sides.  Shake excess crumbs off.  Place chicken pillow on cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes. 

Make gravy by  mixing one package of chicken gravy mix, one can of cream of chicken soup, and 3/4 can of water in a small pot.  Mix together and heat until warm.  Serve chicken pillow with gravy poured on top.
