Directions: |
Directions:1. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese and butter and stir until well combined.
2. Add chicken, ham, bacon and Swiss cheese to cream cheese mixture and evenly stir into the mixture.
3. Lay out the 8 crescents on a cookie sheet. Stretch the crescent out width wise.
4. Place a couple large spoonfuls of the creamy chicken mixture into the center of the crescent to fill it. Then fold the crescent around the mixture so that all the cream cheese mixture is sealed off by the crescent roll. I'll call this the pillow. In a separate smaller bowl, put the egg and a little bit of water, maybe a couple Tablespoons worth and beat together. Dip the pillows into the blended egg. After dipping into the egg, proceed to dip in the bread crumb/planking crumbs and place on greased cookie sheet. Repeat for the remaining 7 crescents. Cook the pillows at 400 F for 20 minutes. Keep an eye on them your oven might cook them quicker.
FOR THE SAUCE
1. To make sauce melt butter in a large sauce pan. Once melted add flour and stir for a minute or two to make a roux. Once roux has been made, add half and half slowly, stirring constantly, until all has been added and sauce thickens to desired consistency. Remove from heat and add garlic salt, onion powder. Stir in Swiss cheese until melted into sauce.
2. Drizzle each pillow with sauce. |
