3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Once everything's hot, spoon that creamy Parmesan sauce over the pillows and eat while warm.
02 -
Melt butter in a saucepan on medium. Sprinkle in the flour and stir for a couple minutes till it gets bubbly. Slowly pour in milk while whisking so it stays smooth. Toss in bouillon, salt, and pepper. Keep stirring for about 5-10 minutes as the sauce gets thick. Drop in the Parmesan cheese and stir until it's smooth and melted. If it's too thick, just add a splash more milk and stir it in. Take it off the stove.
03 -
Turn the oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease your baking sheet or just pop some parchment paper on it, then set it aside.
04 -
Dip each little pillow into the melted butter so it's all covered, then roll it around in the Panko crumbs. Tap off any crumbs that won't stick.
05 -
Lay the crumb-covered pillows on your baking sheet. Slide them into the oven and let them bake for about 20-25 minutes or until they're golden and crispy.
06 -
In a big mixing bowl, dump in the chicken, cream cheese that's softened, chives, dried minced onion, salt, and pepper. Stir it all up till it's mixed well.
07 -
Open up both cans of crescent dough. Take two triangles and press them together into a rectangle to seal up any lines. You'll get 8 rectangles total.
08 -
Spoon about 3 tablespoons of chicken mix onto each rectangle. Bring all four corners in so the filling's totally covered and pinch the edges to make sure it stays in.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Press the seams of the dough real tight or stuff might spill out.
02 -
You can always stir in more milk to the sauce if you want it runnier.
