Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or slow-cooked)
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- 1 (8 oz) can Pillsbury crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 green onions, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Buffalo Chicken Filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with buffalo sauce and softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until the filling is creamy and evenly coated for the perfect balance of spicy and creamy flavors.
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface. Separate into individual triangles to serve as the vessel for the filling.
- Assemble the Rolls: Place a generous spoonful of the buffalo chicken mixture onto the wide end of each dough triangle. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the filling. Carefully roll up the dough starting from the wide end, sealing the edges to keep the filling inside.
- Bake the Rolls: Arrange the stuffed rolls on a greased baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter mixed with garlic powder for added aroma and savory flavor. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Once baked, sprinkle chopped green onions or fresh herbs on top to add color and freshness. Let rolls cool slightly before serving warm, ideally with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Notes
- Use shredded chicken for better sauce absorption and ideal texture.
- Do not overfill rolls to prevent bursting during baking.
- Chill the buffalo chicken filling for 30 minutes before assembling to make it easier to handle.
- Keep an eye on baking time and remove rolls once golden brown to avoid overcooking.
- Brushing with butter before baking enhances moisture and creates a delicious crust.
