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: Set the oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the proper temperature for baking your chicken bombs evenly.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, and chopped green onions. Mix everything thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare the dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles along the pre-cut lines.
- Fill the dough: Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle. Make sure not to overfill to prevent leakage while baking.
- Roll the bombs: Starting from the wide end, roll the dough around the filling, carefully tucking in the sides as you go to completely encase the filling inside the dough.
- Arrange for baking: Place each filled, rolled dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced slightly apart to allow for expansion during baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Remove the bombs from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving to avoid burning. Enjoy your cheesy buffalo ranch chicken bombs warm!
Notes
- Use cooked shredded chicken from rotisserie or leftover grilled chicken for convenience.
- Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to control the spice level.
- For extra crispiness, brush the dough with an egg wash before baking.
- Serve with additional ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
- Can be prepared ahead and baked just before serving.
