Ingredients
- Dough Ingredients:
- 1 cup self rising flour ( I use Gold Medal)
- 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- Filling Ingredients:
- 1 cup chicken, cooked and shredded
- 4 ounces light cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup frozen, thawed or fresh chopped broccoli
- 1/4 cup nonfat plain or greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup light cheddar cheese ( I use Trader Joe’s light 3 cheese blend)
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. dried, minced onion
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- Topping Ingredients:
- 1 Tbsp. Land o’ Lakes light butter made with canola oil or any light butter, melted
- 1/8 cup Italian style breadcrumbs ( I use Great Value)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour and 1 cup Greek yogurt. Stir until well combined.
- Sprinkle a little extra flour on the tabletop or whatever surface you plan on using to knead the dough.
- Place the dough ball on top of flour and knead with your hands. If it sticks to your hands, sprinkle a little extra flour on it. Knead for about 3-4 times, until it’s a pliable dough.
- Separate the dough into 4 equal sections. On the parchment-lined cookie sheet, using a pastry roller (be sure to spray your roller with non stick cooking spray to keep the dough from sticking) roll each section of dough into a rectangle shape and until it’s about 1/4″ thick.
- Repeat for next 3 sections. Set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt. Add in chicken, garlic powder, light cheese, broccoli,onion, and salt and pepper.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of chicken mixture into the center of rectangle. Fold each corner over the center of filling.
- Press together to cover filling entirely. Shape into a ball. Repeat with the remaining sections. (Be sure you press together the sides well so your filling wont ooze out.)
- Place chicken pillows on the parchment lined cookie sheet.
- Using a basting brush, brush the tops of each pillow with melted light butter. Sprinkle each chicken pillow evenly with breadcrumbs.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
