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 fully preheat while you prepare the chicken mixture.
- Prepare the 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 all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare the dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles as per the package instructions.
- 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.
- Roll the bombs: Carefully roll the dough from the wide end towards the tip, folding in the sides to seal the filling inside securely.
- 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.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Allow the bombs to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- 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.
