Ingredients
Scale
Chicken 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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the chicken bombs.
- Make Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, and chopped green onions. Mix everything until the ingredients are well incorporated and evenly distributed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles as per the package instructions.
- Fill Dough: Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture on the wide end of each crescent roll triangle. Be careful not to overfill to avoid spills during baking.
- Roll Bombs: Roll the dough around the filling starting from the wide end, folding and tucking the sides in as you go to fully encase the filling.
- Arrange on Sheet: Place the prepared chicken bombs seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set and prevent burns. Enjoy your cheesy buffalo ranch chicken bombs warm!

- Optional: brush tops with melted butter or garlic butter before baking for extra flavor.
