Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- In another bowl, combine the flour and melted butter to form a dough.
- Divide the dough into small balls, roll each ball into a circle, and place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center.

Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Making the sauce
- While the pillows bake, make the creamy sauce. In a saucepan, combine chicken broth and heavy cream over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Allow the sauce to simmer for about 10 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Serving
- Remove the pillows from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter.
- Drizzle the creamy sauce over the chicken pillows and garnish with chopped parsley.
