Ingredients
- 1 lb Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts: Cooked and shredded.
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese: For gooey, melty texture.
- 1/2 cup BBQ Sauce: Your favorite variety.
- 2 tbsp Honey: For sweetness.
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder:
- 1 tsp Onion Powder:
- 1 can Refrigerated Crescent Roll Dough:
- 1 Egg: Beaten for egg wash.
- Fresh Parsley: Chopped, for garnish.
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, BBQ sauce, honey, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until well incorporated.
3. Assemble the Cheese Bombs
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. Place a spoonful of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll up the dough, starting from the wide end and pinching the edges to seal.
4. Bake to Perfection
Arrange the cheese bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the beaten egg. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
5. Garnish and Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with shredded plant-based “chicken” or sautéed vegetables.
- For added heat, incorporate jalapeños or cayenne pepper into the filling.
- Experiment with different cheeses for varied flavors.
