- 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 ensure it’s ready for baking the chicken bombs.
- Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, and chopped green onions. Season with salt and pepper, then mix everything until well incorporated into a creamy mixture.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough onto a flat surface and separate it into individual triangles as per the package instructions.
- Add Filling to Dough: Place a spoonful of the prepared chicken mixture on the wide end of each crescent dough triangle, making sure not to overfill.
- Roll Chicken Bombs: Starting at the wide end, carefully roll the dough over the filling, folding in the sides as you roll to fully encase the filling and form a neat packet.
- Arrange for Baking: Place each filled and rolled chicken bomb onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly to allow for expansion during baking.
- Bake: Bake the chicken bombs in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving to prevent burns and enhance flavors. Enjoy your cheesy buffalo ranch chicken bombs!
