Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 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 at the perfect temperature for baking the chicken bombs.
- Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, chopped green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix well to distribute all ingredients evenly for a flavorful filling.
- Unroll Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough on a clean surface and carefully separate it into individual triangles following the perforations.
- Fill Dough: Place a spoonful of the buffalo chicken mixture on the wide end of each crescent dough triangle, ensuring enough filling for a good bite but leaving room to roll.
- Roll Bombs: Starting from the wide end with the filling, roll the dough toward the pointed end, tucking in the sides to seal the filling inside and form a neat, enclosed pocket.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each rolled chicken bomb seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and aid even baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crescent rolls are puffed and golden brown, indicating they are fully cooked and crispy on the outside.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the bombs from the oven and allow them to cool slightly for a few minutes before serving to avoid burns and to let the flavors set. Enjoy warm!
Notes
- You can substitute cooked rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce based on your preferred spice level.
- Serve with extra ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to make mixing easier.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven for best texture.
