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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken bombs evenly.
- Mix Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, chopped green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles for each chicken bomb.
- Fill Dough: Place a spoonful of the prepared chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent dough triangle.
- Roll Bombs: Carefully roll the dough around the filling starting from the wide end, tucking in the sides as you go to seal in the mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the rolled chicken bombs seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Bake: Bake the bombs in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the chicken bombs to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as a hearty appetizer or snack.
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.
