My sister-in-law gave me this recipe about 8 years ago. It is definitely one of our favorites. If my 4-year-old son had it his way I would make this every night. He constantly asks me to make this for him… like several times a week he will ask. We call them chicken ploopers at our house. That is what my sister-in-law called them, so the name stuck. I was actually surprised to see similar recipes on Pinterest that called them pillows. Ha! Makes more sense, right?

Start by mixing shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, parsley, onion powder and milk.

Chicken Pillow mixture-1Roll out your crescent dough, but do not tear the triangles apart. Instead, using your 2 index finger, press the 2 triangles together creating a rectangle.

Chicken Pillow assembly-1 Dip both sides of the uncooked pillow in beaten egg.

Chicken Pillow in egg wash-1Then bread both sides in Panko or regular Italian breadcrumbs. I’ve used both kids of breadcrumbs. Either one is really good.

Chicken Pillow in bread crumbs-1Place your breaded pillows a few inches apart on a baking sheet. They will expand, so make sure they have enough room to grow.

    Hi Crystal! Glad these made the blog. Russ actually named them this because we’d “ploop” the filling onto the dough 🙂

My name is Crystal Dangerfield and I am so excited to bring you tried and true recipes that my whole family and I enjoy together. I love being in the kitchen and trying new recipes. Of course we have our favorites, but my kids are pretty good sports about trying new things. I refuse to buy ready-made frozen meals and refrain from fast food. My kids do not know what a “happy meal” is and I want to keep it that way! My husband was diagnosed with Celiac’s Disease several years ago and I have had to learn how to alter recipes into gluten free versions that the whole family still loves.
