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 prepare for baking the chicken bombs.
- Mix the filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, chopped green onions, and salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Prepare the dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles as per package instructions.
- Fill the dough: Spoon a generous amount of the chicken filling onto the wide end of each crescent dough triangle.
- Roll the bombs: Carefully roll the dough around the filling, starting from the wide end and tucking in the sides to enclose the filling completely.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Place the rolled chicken bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly to allow for expansion during baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Remove from oven and let the chicken bombs cool slightly before serving to enjoy the perfect melty, spicy, and cheesy bites.
