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 onto a clean surface and separate it into individual triangles.

  5. Melt some butter and brush it generously over each Chicken Pillow. Sprinkle seasoned breadcrumbs on top.
  6. Place the Chicken Pillows on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

  8. Once baked, let the Chicken Pillows cool for a few minutes and drizzle with the creamy Parmesan sauce before serving.
