Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine cooked shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Unroll refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate into individual triangles.
  4. Place a tablespoon of chicken filling at the wide end of each crescent triangle and roll towards the pointed end.
  5. Dip each Chicken Pillow in melted butter and roll in Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs.
  6. Place the coated Chicken Pillows on the greased baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  7. Melt butter in a saucepan and whisk in flour to make a roux. Gradually add chicken broth and milk while whisking, and cook until thickened.
  8. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  9. Once baked, let Chicken Pillows rest for a few minutes before serving with the creamy parmesan sauce.
