Chicken Pillows


My baby got up early this beautiful Sunday morning so I stuck him in his Exer-Saucer to watch Mickey Mouse and decided to do some early morning blogging.  These Chicken Pillows are the ultimate comfort food.  I found them on my favorite blog, www.chef-in-training.com.  It's such an easy recipe and the left overs aren't too bad either! 



What you need:

1 8oz can Pillsbury Big and Flakey crescent rolls
1 8oz package of cream cheese
1/4 cup butter
2-3 cooked chicken breast shredded
1 sleeve of saltine or ritz crackers
1 egg
1 can cream of chicken
1/4 cup milk
4 oz of sour cream
1/2 cup shredded cheese

-Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
-Soften butter and cream cheese and combine together until smooth.
-Add the chicken to the mixture.
-Lay out the 8 crescent rolls on a large cookie sheet.  Spread them as much as you can, but make sure you don't make any holes.
-Scoop a couple of spoonfuls of the chicken mixture onto the middle of each roll.
-Fold each side of the roll around the mixture to make a "pillow" making sure all the sides are closed and the mixture can't escape.
-In a separate bowl, mix together the egg and 2 Tbs of water.  You can either pick up each pillow and dip it in the egg mixture, or you can cheat like me and just brush the egg over top of each pillow.
-Smash the crackers very finely and sprinkle over top of each pillow.
-Cook for 15 minutes, but they turn quickly so keep an eye on them.
-While your pillows are cooking, it's time to make the sauce.  In a small saucepan, mix together the cream of chicken and milk until heated and then add the sour cream and shredded chicken.
-Remove the pillows from the oven and top with the yummy sauce.
