Filling Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or finely chopped
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 green onions, chopped
Dough and Topping
- 1 package puff pastry or crescent roll dough (gluten-free option if needed)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, mix shredded cooked chicken with buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions until evenly combined to form a creamy, spicy filling.
- Prepare the Dough: Roll out the puff pastry or crescent roll dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut into approximately 3×3 inch squares large enough to wrap the filling completely.
- Assemble the Bombs: Place a generous spoonful of the buffalo chicken mixture in the center of each dough square. Fold the corners over the filling and pinch the seams tightly to seal the bombs securely.
- Add Finishing Touches: Brush each sealed bomb lightly with melted butter mixed with garlic powder to help achieve a golden, flavorful crust during baking.
- Bake Until Golden: Arrange the bombs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-18 minutes, until they puff up and turn golden brown.
Notes
- Use warm chicken to help the filling ingredients combine smoothly.
- Do not overfill bombs to prevent tearing of the dough.
- Pinch edges tightly and optionally use a little water to seal the dough well.
- Brush with butter for a golden, flavorful crust.
- Serve immediately for the best melty texture.
