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 prepare for baking the chicken bombs.
- Mix the filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, chopped green onions, and salt and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until fully incorporated.
- Prepare the dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles as indicated on the package.
- Fill the dough: Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle. Carefully roll the dough around the filling, starting at the wide end and tucking in the sides to seal the filling inside.
- Arrange for baking: Place the filled dough bombs onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly apart to allow for expansion.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Remove the chicken bombs from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm with extra ranch dressing if desired.
Notes
- For extra flavor and heat, feel free to increase the amount of buffalo sauce in the filling.
- These chicken bombs can be made ahead of time and frozen before baking for convenient meal prep.
- Serve with additional ranch dressing on the side for dipping to enhance the taste.
