BBQ Chicken Pillows

This tasted JUST like our favorite BBQ chicken pizza from BJ's!! The kids had fun helping me make these. They were easy, different, and yummy!! We will be making these often.

2 pkgs Crescent roll dough (8 in each pkg)
1 1/2 cups shredded, cooked chicken
3/4 cup BBQ sauce (may need a little more or less depending on your preference)
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 medium red onion finely chopped
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese


  1. Pull crescent rolls apart 2 at a time, keeping the 2 stuck together (if they pull apart, just use your fingers to stick them back together).
  2. Spread 3 tablespoons of your favorite BBQ sauce on each of the crescent 'squares', leaving about 1/4 inch border of dough on the outside.
  3. Place as much cooked chicken as desired. I was able to get about an 1/8 cup on each 'square'.
  4. Place 1 tablespoons of chopped red onion over the tops of the chicken.
  5. Sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of cilantro over the top of the onion.
  6. Sprinkled with shredded mozzarella cheese (about 1/8-1/4 cup per pillow square).
  7. Make sure none of the filling touches 1/4-1/2 inch dough boarder you left around the outside of your pillows. Pull opposite corners of a pillow and stick them together. Pull the other 2 opposite corners together and stick them to the first corners. Finish with the rest of the pillows
  8. Place the 8 pillows on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes or until golden in color.
