Ingredients
For the Filling
- 1 cup cooked shredded chicken (about 1 large breast)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup buffalo wing sauce
- 1 tablespoon dry ranch dressing mix
For the Dough
- 8 oz Pillsbury Crescents (or Pillsbury Crescent Sheet)
For Serving
- Ranch or bleu cheese dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking the rollups.
- Prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, dry ranch dressing mix, and buffalo wing sauce. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated to create a creamy, spicy filling.
- Prepare the dough. Open the tube of crescent dough and unroll it on a clean surface without separating the triangle shapes. Gently press the perforations together to form one solid rectangle. If using a crescent sheet, simply unroll and press into a rectangle.
- Spread the filling. Spoon the chicken mixture onto the rectangle of dough and spread it evenly across the surface, reaching the edges on three sides but leaving about an inch of space along one long edge to aid in rolling.
- Roll and slice. Starting with the long edge opposite the space, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled dough into 12 equal pieces. Place each piece on a parchment-lined baking sheet, or directly on the baking sheet if parchment is not available.
- Bake. Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until the rollups are puffed and golden brown on top.
- Serve. Allow to cool slightly before serving. These rollups are best enjoyed warm with ranch or bleu cheese dressing for dipping. They can also be served at room temperature and stored in the refrigerator for later enjoyment.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken breast, shredded finely, for the best texture.
- Softened cream cheese mixes more easily with other ingredients.
- Do not separate crescent dough triangles—press perforations to form a solid rectangle to hold the filling better.
- If you prefer less heat, reduce buffalo wing sauce quantity or use a milder wing sauce.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
