Ingredients
Scale
Buffalo Chicken Filling
- 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
Dough & Topping
- 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, ensuring a perfect balance of spicy and creamy flavors.
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface. Separate into individual triangles, which will 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 to add aroma and a 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 the rolls cool slightly before serving warm, ideally accompanied by ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce based on your preferred spice level.
- Feel free to substitute cheddar with mozzarella or a blend for different flavor profiles.
- For extra crispiness, bake on a parchment-lined sheet and consider brushing again with butter halfway through baking.
- These rolls are best served warm but can be reheated in an oven to maintain texture.
- Use fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro as alternative garnishes if desired.
