- Unroll the crescent roll dough on a lightly floured surface and separate it into triangles.
- Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture on the wide end of each triangle.
- Roll up each triangle toward the point, pinching the edges firmly to seal.
- Arrange the rolled pillows on the greased baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Heat the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese in a saucepan over medium heat until smooth.
- Add salt and pepper to the sauce and let it simmer gently.
