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 ensure it is ready for baking the 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 season with salt and pepper. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until evenly blended.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles along the perforations.
- Add Filling: Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent dough triangle.
- Roll Bombs: Starting from the wide end, carefully roll the dough around the filling, folding in the sides as you roll to fully encase the mixture inside.
- Arrange Bombs: Place the filled crescent roll bombs seam side down onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the dough is puffed and golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the chicken bombs to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving to enjoy their cheesy, spicy flavor safely.
Notes
- You can substitute buffalo sauce with any hot sauce of your preference for varied heat levels.
- Ensure the chicken is cooked and shredded properly before mixing with other ingredients to maintain texture.
- Adjust the amount of cream cheese or cheddar to make it creamier or cheesier as desired.
- To make these bombs spicier, add some red pepper flakes or jalapeños to the filling mixture.
- These can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
