Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

If you are in need of a quick and easy dinner that is also DELICIOUS I have the solution!!! :-)

While talking with my friend Leah tonight she told me she was cooking dinner for her boyfriend. The conversation naturally turned to what she was cooking...Chicken Pillows. Now, I had never heard of Chicken Pillows...so should I have been surprised that Leah found the recipe from Pinterest!? I'm convinced that all good things come from Pinterest ;-) The original recipe can be found at The Girl Who Ate Everything I decided that I didn't have dinner set in stone yet so I was going to check it out. Luckily I had the majority of the ingredients necessary! It sounded like it would be good so I decided to give it a try! Let me tell you...I am SO GLAD I did, and so is the Hubster!

Now I'm going to give you the original ingredients/directions (in blue) VIA The Girl Who Ate Everything and tell you what I substituted/omitted! (in pink!) Just because I didn't do everything exactly like she said!

Ingredients/Directions

Mix Together

8 ounces cream cheese, softened {I only had 4 ounces}

½ cup sour cream {Omitted}

{Added some of the cream of chicken soup, shredded cheese, dash of milk, and Parmesan cheese}

Add In

½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 ½ Tablespoons dried chives
1 ½ Tablespoons fresh onion minced {Omitted...was feeling yucky and didn't want to deal with onions ;-)}

3 chicken breasts, cooked and diced (around 3 cups) {Used one can of canned chicken...again, didn't feel good and was feeling lazy}

Assemble Pillows

2 (8 ounce) cans Pillsbury crescent rolls {Used one can of grands biscuits}

1/4 cup melted butter
Italian bread crumbs (around 2 cups) {Didn't have any...made my own}

***At this point scoop a spoonful of chicken mixture into flattened biscuit and fold up, dip top into butter and roll in breadcrumbs. Then place on baking sheet.***

Gravy

1 (14.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
1 (0.87) package chicken gravy mix {Omitted...just used water to mix with soup}

Seriously y'all...these were SO GOOD! The hubster kept saying that this was his new favorite dinner over and over! Now, I love my husband and he usually has nice things to say about my cooking but he went on and on and on about these. I take it he liked them a little more than our usual dinners ;-)

I served ours with some mixed veggies. YUM! We also had a salad before dinner.

I HIGHLY recommend these..does this not make your mouth water!?

Needless to say I'm so glad I chatted with Leah this evening! :-) I think the Hubster would say he is MORE than grateful! Seriously...what did we do before Pinterest?! HA! And just for good measure...here are the links for this scrumptious meal one more time.
