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 prepare for baking the chicken bombs.
- Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded 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 and separate it into the pre-cut triangular sections as indicated on the packaging.
- Fill Dough: Place a generous spoonful of the buffalo chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle.
- Roll Bombs: Starting from the wide end, carefully roll the dough around the filling, tucking in the sides to seal the filling completely inside each crescent roll, forming a tight pocket.
- Arrange for Baking: Place the assembled chicken bombs evenly spaced on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the crescent rolls turn a golden brown color and are fully cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the chicken bombs to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best flavor.
Notes
- For extra spice, add additional buffalo sauce or sprinkle with cayenne pepper before baking.
- Use rotisserie chicken as a quick shortcut for cooking and shredding chicken breast.
- Serve with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
- These chicken bombs can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to bake.
- Make sure to seal the edges of the crescent rolls well to prevent filling leakage during baking.
