Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- ½ cup buffalo sauce
- 6–8 strips beef bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 10–12 ounces mozzarella cheese (fresh mozzarella pearls or small cubes)
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 count) or 1 sheet puff pastry
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing (for serving)
- Fresh chopped chives or parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare your chicken: Cook raw chicken breasts in a pot with water or chicken broth for 15-20 minutes until cooked through. Shred the chicken and mix with buffalo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Cook and crumble the beef bacon: Cook beef bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5-8 minutes. Remove and crumble into small bits.
- Preheat and prep your workstation: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly dust your work surface with flour.
- Assemble the bombs: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate the triangles. Place a piece of dough on the work surface, add a mozzarella piece, spoon buffalo chicken mixture over it, sprinkle crumbled beef bacon, and seal the dough tightly around the filling.
- Bake to golden perfection: Place the assembled bombs seam-side down on the baking sheet and bake for 12-18 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve and enjoy: Let the bombs cool slightly before serving with ranch or blue cheese dressing and garnish with fresh chives or parsley.
