Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 2 cans (8 oz each) crescent roll dough
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon. Stir until well incorporated.
  3. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the crescent roll dough on a lightly floured surface and separate it into individual triangles.
  4. Fill and Shape the Bombs: Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the wide end of each dough triangle. Roll up the dough starting from the wide end and tuck in the sides.
  5. Season and Bake: Place the filled bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Mix garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl and sprinkle over the tops. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and sprinkle with chopped green onions. Serve warm with extra BBQ sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.

Notes

You can customize these bombs by adding diced vegetables, trying different cheese varieties, or swapping out the BBQ sauce for other sauces like honey mustard or buffalo sauce. For a lighter version, use low-fat cream cheese and turkey bacon.
