Creamy chicken filling in a soft crescent roll makes these Chicken Pillows irresistible!

CREAM CHEESE CHICKEN ROLL-UPS

You say potato, I say potaato. My husband calls these Chicken Pillows. I call them Chicken Roll-Ups.

No matter what you call them, these cream cheese chicken pockets are a favorite.

We save this recipe for Chicken pillows for special occasions since in my husband’s words, “these taste like dessert.” True. They are that good. They are rich and creamy. But I’ve never complained about having dessert for dinner. And at least they are savory too.

They are simple enough for a light summer meal, yet fancy enough for a luncheon or shower. Mmm. Just talking about them makes me want to eat them again. Too bad they don’t stay around here very long.

INGREDIENTS FOR PILLSBURY CHICKEN POCKETS:

cooked and shredded chicken
cream cheese, softened
dried onion
butter
bread crumbs
Pillsbury Crescent rolls (or generic brand is fine)

I’m so glad my mom taught me how to make these amazing pops of goodness. The flaky crust and amazing flavor is a favorite.
