Learn how to make delicious Chicken Parmesan Pillows. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Gathering the right ingredients is the first step towards making these delicious Chicken Parmesan Pillows. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
  • 1 cup marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 package (8-count) of crescent roll dough
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Feel free to swap out the crescent roll dough for puff pastry if you’re looking for an even flakier texture. And if you’re feeling adventurous, you can add some crushed red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.

Instructions

Now that we have everything we need, let’s dive into the step-by-step process of bringing these Chicken Parmesan Pillows to life:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.
  4. Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each triangle.
  5. Carefully fold the dough over the filling, starting from the wide end, and roll it towards the pointed end, ensuring the filling is fully enclosed. Pinch the edges to seal.
  6. Arrange the filled dough on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
  7. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to give them a golden, glossy finish.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the delicious aroma that fills your kitchen!

These steps are straightforward and easy to follow, making it a fun cooking experience for everyone involved. I love how the aroma of baking cheese and herbs fills the kitchen, reminiscent of my childhood cooking adventures with my abuela.
