Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 2 cups (473 ml) cooked chicken, shredded
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (226 grams) shredded cheddar cheese
Sauces and Seasonings:
- ½ cup (118 ml) buffalo sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) unsalted butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
Dough and Accompaniments:
- 1 can (8 ounces/226 grams) crescent roll dough (8 rolls)
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing
- Celery sticks
Instructions
- Warm the kitchen oven to 375F (190C), preparing a baking sheet with parchment paper or a light grease coating to prevent potential sticking.
- Create a zesty chicken blend by thoroughly mixing shredded cooked chicken with buffalo sauce, cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, cream cheese, and ranch seasoning until ingredients form a cohesive, spicy filling.
- Carefully separate biscuit or crescent roll dough into individual pieces, gently flattening each section to create an ideal base for the filling.
- Deposit a generous portion of the spiced chicken mixture into the center of each dough piece, carefully folding and pinching edges to create secure, sealed pockets that prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- Position the assembled chicken bombs on the prepared baking sheet, generously brushing tops with melted butter to ensure a golden, crispy exterior.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven, cooking for 12-15 minutes until the dough transforms into a beautiful golden brown and the filling reaches perfect temperature.
- Remove the buffalo chicken bombs from the oven, allowing them to rest briefly before garnishing with fresh chopped parsley.
- Serve immediately alongside complementary dipping sauces like additional buffalo sauce, ranch, or blue cheese dressing for an extra flavor burst.
Notes
- Swap out regular biscuit dough for gluten-free alternatives to make these bombs celiac-friendly and accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Reduce buffalo sauce quantity if you prefer milder heat, allowing kids or spice-sensitive individuals to enjoy the recipe comfortably.
- Prep chicken mixture ahead of time and store in refrigerator for quick assembly during busy weeknights, saving precious cooking time.
- Use rotisserie chicken for an even faster preparation method, cutting down on overall cooking and shredding time while maintaining delicious flavor profile.
