Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 lb chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Dough
- 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the chicken bombs.
- Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, and chopped green onions. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough on a clean surface and separate it into individual triangles as per package instructions.
- Assemble Bombs: Place a spoonful of the buffalo chicken mixture on the wide end of each crescent dough triangle. Carefully roll the dough over the filling toward the pointed end, tucking in the sides as you roll to fully enclose the filling.
- Arrange for Baking: Place each filled dough bomb onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly to allow for expansion during baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the crescent dough has turned golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the bombs cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm to enjoy the melty, cheesy, and spicy flavors.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken to save time.
- Adjust buffalo sauce amount according to your preferred spice level.
- For extra crispiness, brush the tops with a little melted butter before baking.
- Serve with extra ranch dressing or blue cheese dip for added flavor.
- These can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
