Chicken Pillows

2 cups cooked diced chicken
2 pkgs. Crescent rolls
8 oz. cream cheese (low fat)
4 TBS butter
1/8 tsp pepper
1 TBS grated yellow onion or chives
1 TBS Fresh chopped parsley
2/3 cup chopped mushrooms
3 TBS melted butter
1 cup bread crumbs

Cream the cream cheese, butter and pepper. Add chicken, onions, parsley and mushrooms. Set aside. Roll out dough. Put 2 TBS on roll. Fold like a diaper. Pinch closed. Roll pillows in melted butter, then bread crumbs. Bake on cookie sheet at 350° for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown.

*Other variations on this leave out the mushrooms and bread crumbs and add a cream of chicken or mushroom sauce on top. We like the crunch from the bread crumbs. My husband likes the chives, and I like the yellow onions. (I used chives this time.) Have fun with the variations!
