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 your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken bombs.
- Mix Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, chopped green onions, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.
- Fill Dough: Place a spoonful of the buffalo chicken mixture on the wide end of each crescent dough triangle.
- Roll Bombs: Roll the dough from the wide end over the filling towards the pointed end, carefully tucking in the sides to fully enclose the filling and form a bomb shape.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each filled chicken bomb seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bombs to cool slightly before serving to avoid burning and to let the filling set. Enjoy warm for best flavor.
