Introduction

Cheesy Buffalo Ranch Chicken Bombs are a tasty and convenient snack packed with bold flavors. These bite-sized treats combine tender chicken, spicy buffalo sauce, creamy ranch, and melted cheddar wrapped in flaky crescent rolls. Perfect for game day or a fun appetizer.

The image shows several round, creamy balls of food arranged closely on a white plate. Each ball has two main layers of sauce dripping over it: a thick white sauce that covers the top and sides, topped with a bright orange sauce that flows down smoothly. Small pieces of fresh green herbs are sprinkled on top of the sauce, adding a touch of color. The overall texture looks soft and moist, with the sauces creating a shiny, rich look. The background is a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast, cooked and shredded
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup buffalo sauce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
1/4 cup ranch dressing
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, and green onions. Mix well until evenly blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.
Step 4: Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each dough triangle.
Step 5: Roll the dough tightly around the filling, starting at the wide end and tucking the sides in as you roll.
Step 6: Place each filled roll seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8: Let the chicken bombs cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!

Tips & Variations

For extra heat, add diced jalapeños or use a spicier buffalo sauce.
Substitute cooked rotisserie chicken for convenience.
Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley for a fresh twist.
Serve with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

Storage

Store leftover chicken bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes or until warmed through to keep the crust crisp. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the chicken bombs and refrigerate them unbaked for up to 24 hours before baking. Just add a couple extra minutes to the baking time if baking straight from the fridge.

Can I freeze the chicken bombs?

Absolutely. Freeze the unbaked rolls on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding about 5 extra minutes to the baking time.
