Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups cooked shredded chicken, 4 ounces softened cream cheese, 1/3 cup buffalo sauce, 1 cup shredded cheddar, 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until smooth and evenly mixed.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles on a flat, clean surface.
- Assemble the Dish: Place a spoonful of the buffalo chicken filling in the center of each triangle, then fold and pinch the edges closed to seal the filling inside.
- Cook to Perfection: Arrange the sealed rolls seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Brush the tops with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the rolls are puffed and golden brown.
- Finishing Touches: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly in the dish for a few minutes so the filling sets and is easier to handle.
- Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the rolls to a serving platter and serve warm with extra buffalo sauce, ranch, or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken to save time and boost flavor.
- Do not overfill the dough to prevent leaks during baking.
- Brush tops with butter for a glossy, golden finish.
- Freeze baked rolls in an airtight container for up to 1 month and reheat in the oven to restore crispness.
