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 the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even cooking for a golden, crispy exterior.
  2. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, chopped green onions, and salt and pepper until fully combined.
  3. Unroll the dough: Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface and separate it into individual triangles.
  4. Fill the dough: Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each dough triangle. Roll from the wide end, tucking in the sides to seal the filling inside.
  5. Bake the bombs: Place the filled dough bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet with space between each. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the bombs are golden brown and flaky.
  6. Cool and serve: Let the bombs cool for a few minutes before serving warm. They pair perfectly with extra ranch dressing or blue cheese for dipping.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing.
  • Do not overfill the dough triangles to prevent leaking.
  • Brush the tops with melted butter before baking for extra crunch and color.
  • Feel free to substitute cheddar with pepper jack cheese for a spicier twist.
  • These can be made ahead and frozen before baking; bake from frozen adding a few extra minutes.
  • Add diced jalapeños to the filling if you prefer a spicier version.
  • Use gluten-free crescent roll dough for a gluten-free option.
