1/2 cup buffalo sauce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
1/4 cup ranch dressing
1/4 cup green onions, chopped

Instructions

Step 3: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.
Step 4: Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture on the wide end of each triangle.
Step 5: Roll the dough around the filling, starting from the wide end and tucking in the sides to seal the filling inside.
Step 6: Arrange the filled chicken bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly.
Step 7: Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8: Let the bombs cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the spicy, cheesy goodness!

Tips & Variations

For extra heat, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the chicken mixture.
Swap shredded cheddar with pepper jack for a smoky, spicy twist.
Use cooked rotisserie chicken to save time without sacrificing flavor.
Add finely chopped celery for a bit of crunch and extra freshness.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes to keep the crescent rolls crisp. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

FAQs

Can I freeze these chicken bombs?

Yes, you can freeze unbaked chicken bombs by placing them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transferring them to a freezer-safe bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

Can I make these with homemade dough instead of crescent rolls?

Absolutely! Homemade pizza or biscuit dough works well and can add a rustic touch, though baking times may vary slightly depending on the dough thickness.

Notes

You can substitute cooked rotisserie chicken for convenience.
Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to make it more or less spicy to your liking.
For crispier bombs, brush the tops with a little butter before baking.
Serve with extra ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
These can be made ahead and stored in the fridge before baking; just add a couple extra minutes to the bake time if baking cold.
