Description

These Cheesy Buffalo Ranch Chicken Bombs are a deliciously spicy and creamy appetizer or snack. Made with shredded chicken, tangy buffalo sauce, smooth cream cheese, sharp cheddar, and zesty ranch dressing all wrapped in flaky crescent roll dough, they bake to golden perfection for a crowd-pleasing, bite-sized treat.

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. Prepare 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 the mixture is well combined.
  3. Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles along the perforated lines.
  4. Fill Dough: Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle.
  5. Roll Bombs: Carefully roll the dough from the wide end to the narrow end, tucking in the sides to encase the filling completely and form a sealed bomb.
  6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each filled chicken bomb onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced evenly apart.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the chicken bombs to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy warm as a flavorful appetizer or snack!

Notes

  • You can substitute cooked rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • Adjust buffalo sauce quantity to control spice level.
  • For a crispier crust, brush the bombs with an egg wash before baking.
  • Serve with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
  • These can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
