Dough

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is ready for baking the chicken bombs.

Prepare the crescent roll dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles as per package instructions.
Fill the dough: Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture on the wide end of each crescent roll triangle. Be careful not to overfill to allow for easy rolling.
Form the bombs: Roll the dough around the chicken filling, starting from the wide end, tucking in the edges as you roll to fully encase the filling.

Prepare the chicken bombs ahead of time and freeze them unbaked for convenient baking later.
Serve with extra ranch dressing on the side for dipping to enhance the flavor.
