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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the chicken bombs evenly and achieving a golden crust.
  2. Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, and chopped green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it carefully into individual triangles along the perforated lines.
  4. Assemble Bombs: Place a spoonful of the buffalo chicken filling onto the wide end of each crescent triangle. Be careful not to overfill to prevent leaking during baking.
  5. Roll Dough: Starting from the wide end, roll the dough around the filling, folding in the sides as you go to fully encase the mixture and form a neat little parcel.
  6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the stuffed crescent rolls seam side down onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crescent dough is puffed up and golden brown all over.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the chicken bombs from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes to allow the filling to set slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as a savory, spicy appetizer or snack!

Notes

  • You can substitute cooked rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • If you prefer less heat, reduce the buffalo sauce amount or use a mild wing sauce.
  • Make sure to seal the edges of the dough tightly to avoid filling leakage.
  • Serve with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
