3. Roll out dough and cut into 4-6 squares. Place chicken in center of each, fold and seal edges to form pillows.
4. Bake pillows on parchment-lined sheet for 15-20 minutes until golden.
5. Melt butter in saucepan, sauté garlic 30 seconds.
6. Add heavy cream, simmer 2-3 minutes, then stir in Parmesan until melted and smooth.

Notes
Seal dough edges tightly with fork to prevent leaks.
Use rotisserie chicken for faster prep.
Freeze unbaked pillows up to 1 month; bake from frozen adding 5 minutes.
For lighter sauce, substitute half-and-half for cream.
Garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan.
