  • Total Time: 30-35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 bombs 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded or diced chicken
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or preferred cheese)
  • 1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury crescent dough
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Optional Extras

  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
  • Additional ranch seasoning or shredded cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch seasoning, and shredded cheese. Stir until all ingredients are evenly coated and the cheese is well distributed.
  2. Roll Out the Dough: Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean surface and gently press the perforations to seal. Cut the dough into evenly sized squares or rectangles, depending on your preferred size.
  3. Fill and Shape: Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center of each dough square. Fold the dough around the filling, pinching the edges tightly to seal and form a bomb shape that won’t leak during baking.
  4. Prepare for Baking: Brush each bomb with melted butter for a golden-brown finish, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Optionally sprinkle with extra ranch seasoning or cheese on top.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes or until the dough is golden and puffed, and the filling is bubbling deliciously inside.

Notes

  • Use warm chicken to help the buffalo sauce blend more evenly into the filling.
  • Seal dough edges by pinching tightly and slightly moistening to prevent leakage.
  • Do not overfill the dough pockets to avoid bursts or uneven baking.
  • Brush with butter before baking for a rich, crisp exterior.
  • Let the bombs cool for a couple of minutes after baking to avoid burns and help fillings set.
