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 your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to heat up thoroughly to ensure even baking.
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, and chopped green onions. Mix everything together well until fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare the dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles as per the package instructions.
- Assemble the bombs: Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle.
- Roll the dough: Carefully roll the dough around the filling starting from the wide end, ensuring to tuck in the sides as you roll to fully encase the filling in the dough.
- Place on baking sheet: Arrange the filled bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Let the bombs cool slightly before serving to avoid burning and to help the filling set. Enjoy warm!
