Ingredients
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
½ cup buffalo wing sauce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup cream cheese, softened
6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
1 tbsp chopped green onions
1 sheet refrigerated crescent roll dough
Ranch or blue cheese dressing, for dipping
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup.
2. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, buffalo sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions. Stir until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
3. Fill the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut it into squares. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken filling onto each square, then fold the edges to seal and create a bite-sized treat.
4. Bake the Bites: Arrange the filled bites on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Allow the Buffalo Chicken Cheesy Bacon Bites to cool slightly, then serve them warm with your choice of ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Notes
Make sure to fully cook the chicken before shredding and incorporating it into the filling.
Work quickly when sealing the crescent roll dough around the filling to prevent the dough from becoming too soft.
Bake the bites on the top rack of your oven for the best browning and crisping of the dough.
Keep a close eye on the bites during the last few minutes of baking to prevent the dough from burning.
