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 get it ready for baking your 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 well blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste to enhance flavor.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough onto a clean surface and separate it into individual triangles along the pre-scored lines.
- Assemble Bombs: Place a spoonful of the prepared chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent dough triangle. Be generous but leave room to fold edges.
- Roll Bombs: Carefully roll the dough from the wide end over the filling, tucking the sides in as you roll to completely enclose the filling inside the dough.
- Arrange for Baking: Place each rolled chicken bomb seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through, indicating the filling is hot and bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving to avoid burns. Enjoy these cheesy, spicy bombs warm for best flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute cooked rotisserie chicken for ease.
- Adjust buffalo sauce amount based on your spice preference.
- For extra crispiness, brush the crescent rolls with a little melted butter before baking.
- Serve with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
- These can be prepared ahead and baked just before serving for convenience.
