Chicken Mixture
- 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, thoroughly combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, and chopped green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring a well-blended, flavorful mixture.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles as per the package instructions.
- Fill Dough: Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent dough triangle, distributing the filling evenly.
- Roll Bombs: Carefully roll the dough triangles starting from the wide end, folding in the sides as you go to fully encase the filling, forming neat stuffed bombs.
- Arrange for Baking: Place the rolled chicken bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them slightly apart to allow even baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crescent rolls turn golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let the bombs cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set. Enjoy warm as a spicy, cheesy appetizer or snack!
Notes

- Adjust buffalo sauce amount based on your preferred spice level.
- Use cooked rotisserie chicken as a time-saving shortcut.
