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 the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is ready for baking the chicken bombs.
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked, shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, and chopped green onions. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 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.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Place each filled and rolled chicken bomb onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced evenly apart.
- 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 chicken bombs to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm, optionally with extra ranch dressing for dipping.
Notes
- For an extra kick, add more buffalo sauce directly to the chicken 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.
