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 Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for baking the chicken bombs evenly.
- Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, and chopped green onions. Mix all ingredients thoroughly to create a cohesive and flavorful filling. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles along the perforated lines.
- Fill Dough: Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle, ensuring enough filling without overstuffing.
- Wrap Filling: Starting at the wide end, roll the crescent dough around the filling while tucking in the sides to securely encase the mixture, forming a bomb-shaped parcel.
- Arrange for Baking: Place each filled crescent roll seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
- Bake: Bake the chicken bombs in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these delicious, cheesy, spicy chicken bombs warm.
