Ingredients
- Boneless chicken breast or thighs
- Bacon
- Fresh jalapeños
- Cream cheese
- Shredded cheese (like cheddar or mozzarella)
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Salt and pepper
- Bread crumbs (for coating)
- Eggs (for binding)
- Optional: spices for extra flavor (like paprika or cayenne pepper)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, crumbled bacon, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. On a lightly floured surface, unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and pinch the seams together.
4. Cut the dough into squares and place a generous spoonful of the chicken filling mixture in the center of each square. Fold the corners of the dough over the filling and pinch them together to seal the bombs.
5. Arrange the prepared bombs on a greased baking sheet and lightly spray the tops with cooking spray.
6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
7. Allow the bombs to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Adjust the heat by removing seeds for milder flavor or leaving them for spiciness.
Experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella or Monterey Jack.
For extra crispiness, coat the bombs in breadcrumbs before baking.
Prepare and freeze the bombs ahead of time for convenience.
Air fry for a healthier option.
