  3. Place a spoonful of the cheese mixture onto each crescent roll triangle, add a piece of chicken, and roll it up.
  4. Place the rolled chicken pillows in a greased baking dish.

Notes

Dry chicken well before use to prevent sogginess in the crescent dough. Ensure even sizes for consistent cooking. Don’t overfill the pillows to avoid leaks. Simmer cream gently to prevent separation.
