- 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 the oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken bombs.
- Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, cream cheese, buffalo sauce, cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, and chopped green onions until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles, ready for filling.
- Fill Dough Triangles: Spoon a portion of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent roll triangle.
- Roll and Seal: Roll the dough around the filling starting from the wide end, making sure to tuck in the sides to prevent the filling from spilling out during baking.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the filled chicken bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bombs to cool slightly before serving so they are safe to eat and the flavors meld together. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use cooked chicken breast, either boiled, baked, or rotisserie for convenience.
- Adjust buffalo sauce amount to control spiciness level.
- For crispier bottoms, place the baking sheet on the lower rack of the oven.
- These bombs can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from chilled.
- Serve with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
