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 is hot and ready for baking the chicken bombs.
  2. Mix Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, and chopped green onions. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangular sections for wrapping.
  4. Fill and Roll: Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture on 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 fully encase the filling, forming a sealed bomb.
  5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each filled crescent roll seam side down onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart to allow even baking.
  6. Bake: Bake the chicken bombs in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is puffed and golden brown on all sides.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the bombs to cool slightly before serving. Optionally serve with extra ranch dressing for dipping and enjoy!

Notes

  • For additional heat and flavor, increase the amount of buffalo sauce in the filling mixture.
  • These bombs can be assembled ahead of time and frozen before baking; bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
  • Serve warm with extra ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce to enhance the flavor experience.
