Ingredients
Scale
Filling Ingredients
- 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) to ensure it reaches the right temperature by the time you prepare the chicken mixture and assemble the 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, and season with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles along the pre-scored lines.
- Assemble the Bombs: Place a spoonful of the buffalo chicken mixture on the wide end of each crescent dough triangle. Carefully roll the dough around the filling starting from the wide end, folding in the sides as you go to completely enclose the filling.
- Arrange for Baking: Place each filled crescent roll, seam side down, onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crescent rolls are puffed up and golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the chicken bombs to cool slightly on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving to avoid burns and let flavors meld.
Notes
- For extra spice, add more buffalo sauce or sprinkle with cayenne pepper.
- These bombs can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking—just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking chilled.
- Serve with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
- Use cooked rotisserie chicken to reduce prep time.
- Make sure to seal the edges well to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
