Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. Unroll the crescent roll dough on a floured surface and flatten each triangle.
  4. Spoon chicken filling onto the center of the dough triangle, fold the dough over, and pinch edges to seal.
  5. Place sealed Chicken Pillows on the lined baking sheet and brush with beaten egg.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden-brown and puffed.
  7. While baking, melt butter in a saucepan, add flour to create roux, then whisk in whole milk and heavy cream until thickened.
