Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your Cheesy Buffalo Ranch Chicken Bombs bake evenly and achieve that golden color.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar, ranch dressing, and chopped green onions. Mix thoroughly until well combined, ensuring each ingredient is evenly distributed.
- Open the package of refrigerated crescent roll dough and unroll it onto a clean surface. Separate it into individual triangles. Be careful not to tear the dough; if it does, simply pinch it back together.
- On the wide end of each triangle, place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture. Aim for about two tablespoons per triangle; overfilling may cause the bombs to burst open during baking.
- Starting from the wide end, roll the dough around the filling, tucking in the sides as you go to seal it completely. Pinch the ends to ensure no filling escapes while baking.
- Place the filled chicken bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will help with easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the filling is hot. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-browning.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly and makes them easier to eat.

Keywords: Be sure to soften the cream cheese before mixing; this prevents any lumps in the filling and ensures a creamy texture. For an extra crispy exterior, brush the tops of the bombs with a little melted butter before baking.
