Ingredients
Scale
Chicken 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 prepare it for baking the chicken bombs.
- Mix Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, and chopped green onions. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles as per the package instructions.
- Assemble Bombs: Take each dough triangle and place a spoonful of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of the triangle.
- Roll Dough: Carefully roll the dough around the filling, starting from the wide end toward the narrow end, tucking in the sides as you go to fully enclose the filling.
- Arrange for Baking: Place the filled chicken bombs seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the chicken bombs to cool slightly before serving to avoid burns and to let flavors meld. Enjoy these warm, cheesy, spicy bites!
Notes
- You can substitute cooked rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to control the spiciness level.
- For extra crispiness, brush the dough with a little melted butter before baking.
- Serve with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
- These can be made ahead and baked when ready to serve.
