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 the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to reach the desired temperature for baking the chicken bombs.
- Mix the filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, chopped green onions, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly to create a well-blended filling.
- Prepare the dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles as per the package instructions.
- Fill the dough: Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent roll triangle.
- Roll the bombs: Starting from the wide end, carefully roll the dough around the filling, making sure to tuck in the sides to secure the filling inside.
- Place on baking sheet: Arrange the filled crescent rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the chicken bombs for 15-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let the bombs cool slightly before serving to enjoy the melty, cheesy filling safely.
Notes
- Make sure the chicken is fully cooked before shredding to ensure safety and optimal texture.
- You can adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to control the level of spiciness to your preference.
- For a crispier crust, brush the crescent rolls lightly with melted butter before baking.
- Serve with extra ranch dressing or blue cheese dip for dipping.
- These can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking to save time.
