Tips & Variations

• Swap cheddar cheese with pepper jack for a sharper, spicier flavor.
• Include finely chopped celery in the filling for added crunch.
• Brush the tops with melted butter before baking for a richer crust.
• Serve with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

Storage

Store any leftover chicken bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until heated through to keep the crust crisp.

FAQs

Can I use cooked rotisserie chicken for this recipe?

Yes, rotisserie chicken works perfectly and is a convenient shortcut to save time.

Can these be frozen for later?

Absolutely. Assemble the bombs but don’t bake them, then freeze on a tray until solid. Transfer to a freezer bag and bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

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 the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to fully preheat while you prepare the chicken mixture.

3. Prepare the dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles as per the package instructions.
4. Add filling to dough: Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent dough triangle, ensuring not to overfill to prevent leakage.
5. Roll the bombs: Carefully roll the dough from the wide end towards the tip, folding in the sides to seal the filling inside securely.
6. Arrange on baking sheet: Place each filled crescent roll, seam side down, onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will prevent sticking and help with clean-up.

• Cook the chicken beforehand by boiling, grilling, or baking until fully cooked and shred it with forks.
• You can adjust the buffalo sauce amount according to your preferred spice level.
• For a crispier crust, brush the crescent rolls with a little melted butter before baking.
• Serve these with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
• Fillings can be made ahead of time and refrigerated until you are ready to assemble and bake.
