Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix together chicken, softened cream cheese and pesto sauce until fully combined. Unwrap crescent rolls and lay one across your hand, place about 1/4 cup filling in the middle. Fold the corners together in order to enclose the filling, pinching all seams closed and then shaping into a pillow shape. Repeat with each crescent roll. Dip each pillow in melted butter and then roll in the bread crumbs and place on baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: Mix cream of chicken soup, evaporated milk, basil and any leftover chicken mixture in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir and heat until combined and heated through. Serve pillows warm with rice and sauce.
PESTO CHICKEN
A simple way to prepare chicken that looks like you spent a lot of time preparing. It can also be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until baked. Be sure to use a good quality pesto for best results. I like to serve it with pasta, but it is also nice sliced and served on a green salad.
