Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 2 cups chicken, shredded
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 egg, beaten
Dairy:
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
Base:
- 1 can crescent roll dough
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F, ensuring the rack is centered for even cooking.
- Grab a medium bowl and thoroughly combine 2 cups shredded chicken, 1 cup cheddar cheese, 6 crumbled bacon slices, ¼ cup softened cream cheese, 1 tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp onion powder, ½ tsp salt, and ½ tsp black pepper until the mixture looks evenly distributed.
- Open the crescent roll can and carefully separate each triangle on a clean work surface.
- Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each triangle, making sure to distribute filling evenly.
- Gently roll each triangle from the wide end toward the point, tucking and sealing the edges to prevent filling from leaking.
- Place the rolled crescent bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between each bomb.
- Whisk 1 egg and brush the top of each bomb, ensuring complete coverage for a beautiful golden sheen.
- Slide the baking sheet into the 375°F oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the tops turn a rich, golden brown color.
- Remove from the oven and let the bombs rest for 5 minutes before serving, allowing the filling to set and cool slightly.
Notes
- Chicken works best shredded from a rotisserie bird for maximum flavor and tender texture.
- Seal edges carefully when rolling to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- Room temperature cream cheese blends more smoothly into the filling mixture.
- For a low-carb version, replace crescent rolls with thin sliced ham or lettuce wraps as the outer layer.
