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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken bombs.
  2. Mix 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 incorporated. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles following the perforations.
  4. Fill Dough: Place a spoonful of the prepared chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle, ensuring an even amount for each.
  5. Roll Bombs: Carefully roll the dough around the chicken filling starting from the wide end. Tuck the sides in as you roll to seal the filling inside.
  6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the filled chicken bombs seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow even cooking.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the bombs cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as a tasty appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • You can substitute buffalo sauce with your preferred hot sauce or BBQ sauce for a different flavor profile.
  • Make sure to fully seal the crescent dough to prevent filling leakage while baking.
  • Using cooked chicken breast can be easily done by boiling, grilling, or rotisserie chicken from the store.
  • Serve with extra ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to retain crispiness.
