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 ensure it’s ready for baking the chicken bombs evenly.
- Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, chopped green onions, and salt and pepper. Mix everything well until the mixture is evenly combined.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles as per the package instructions.
- Fill the Dough: Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture on the wide end of each crescent triangle, distributing the filling evenly among the triangles.
- Roll Bombs: Roll the dough around the filling starting from the wide end, folding the sides in to encase the filling completely, forming a sealed crescent-shaped bomb.
- Arrange for Baking: Place each filled chicken bomb seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow even baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the bombs cool slightly before serving to avoid burning your mouth and to let the flavors settle. Enjoy warm!
Notes
- Make sure the chicken is fully cooked before shredding to ensure the filling is safe to eat.
- You can adjust the amount of buffalo sauce for more or less spiciness according to your taste.
- For a crispier crust, you can brush the crescent rolls lightly with some melted butter before baking.
- Serve with additional ranch or buffalo sauce for dipping if desired.
- If you prefer, substitute crescent roll dough with puff pastry for a flakier texture.
