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 and 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, buffalo sauce, and softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and the chicken is evenly coated, balancing spicy and creamy flavors.
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and separate it into individual triangles to hold 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 extra flavor. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until rolls are golden brown and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: After baking, sprinkle chopped green onions or fresh herbs over the rolls for added color and freshness. Allow them to cool slightly, then serve warm, ideally with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce according to your preferred spice level.
- Use cheddar for a sharper taste or mozzarella for a milder, creamier texture.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing and creamier filling.
- Brush the crescent rolls with melted butter mixed with garlic powder before baking to enhance aroma and flavor.
- Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing to complement the spicy flavor.
- Can be made ahead and baked just before serving for convenience.
