Ingredients
Scale
Filling:
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Dough:
- 2 cans (8 ounces each) crescent roll dough
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Grab a large mixing bowl and combine 2 cups shredded chicken, 1 cup BBQ sauce, 8 oz softened cream cheese, 1 cup cheddar cheese, and 1 cup crumbled bacon. Mix until everything is evenly distributed.
- Dust your work surface with a light layer of flour and unroll 2 cans of crescent roll dough, separating each triangle carefully.
- Scoop about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each dough triangle, ensuring you don’t overfill.
- Roll the dough from the wide end, tucking in the sides to completely seal the filling inside each bomb.
- Create a quick seasoning blend by mixing 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, ½ tsp salt, and ½ tsp black pepper in a small dish.
- Sprinkle the seasoning blend over the tops of each rolled bomb for an extra flavor boost.
- Bake the bombs for 15-20 minutes at 375°F, watching for a golden brown color across the surface.
- Remove from the oven and let them rest for 3-5 minutes to prevent burning your mouth.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and serve alongside extra BBQ sauce or ranch for dipping.
Notes
- Check cheese and cream cheese temperature to ensure smooth, even mixing without lumps.
- Seal bomb edges completely to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- Experiment with different BBQ sauce styles for unique flavor variations.
- Use rotisserie chicken for quicker preparation and added convenience.
