Description: A Wassom Family favorite! Dad Wassom requested this for many of his birthdays. Growing up, Rachel always thought these were "Chicken Croissants". But then this recipe said otherwise 😂

Ingredients

Chicken Crescent

  • 4-5 chicken breasts
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3 stalks celery, diced
  • ½ onion, diced
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 4 tubes Crescent Rolls (think Pillsbury)

Sauce

  • 2 cans cream of chicken soup
  • ¼ - ½ c. milk

Instructions

  1. Brown the chicken in a large skillet.
  2. Sauté celery and onion with butter in a small skillet.
  3. Mix the cream cheese, cooked chicken, and vegetables together.
  4. Prepare crescents by pinching together 2 sections to make a rectangle.
  5. Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture on each crescent and fold over, pressing down to seal. (It will look like a pillow.)
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350°F. 1
  7. Make the sauce by heating cream of chicken soup; pour enough milk until it reaches a gravy consistency.
  8. After the chicken pillows have been baked, pour the sauce over them when serving.

  1. While the original recipe says 25-30 minutes, we need to adjust due to altitude. The recipe was created in Texas, closer to sea level at 630'. At the time of this writing, we're at 4,705', so a little higher :) ↩
