Buffalo Chicken Pillows

These Buffalo Chicken Pillows are crazy good! How could they not be? Cream cheese, chicken, buffalo sauce and cheddar cheese wrapped in crescent rolls and topped with Cheez-Its. O-M-G!

This recipe is adapted from my Chicken Crescent Squares recipe. I like the original recipe, but I really, really like this kicked up version. You can control the heat in the chicken mixture by adjusting the amount of buffalo sauce. I used 3 Tablespoons and thought it was perfect. Not hot, just a good buffalo flavor. If you are making this for kids, you could start with 1 or 2 Tablespoons of buffalo sauce if you are worried about the heat.

(Printable Recipe)

• 1 (3 oz) package cream cheese, softened 
• 2 cup chopped cooked chicken
• 3 Tbsp buffalo sauce (Frank’s)
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 can refrigerated crescent rolls
• 1 Tbsp butter, melted
• ⅓ cup crushed Cheez-Its

Preheat oven to 350.

Combine cream cheese and buffalo sauce; stir in chicken and cheddar cheese. Set aside.

Unroll crescent dough, separating into 4 rectangles; press perforations to seal. Spoon ¼ of chicken mixture into center of each rectangle; bring corners of each rectangle together over chicken mixture, and twist gently to seal.

Brush packets with 1 tablespoon of melted butter; dredge in crushed Cheez-Its and place on an ungreased baking sheet.

 Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
