Next, I open up a can of crescent roll dough and unroll it onto a lightly floured surface. Splitting the dough into triangles, I place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture at the wide end of each triangle. I then fold the edges over the filling and roll them up into a nice little package. Pressing the seams to seal them well is important—no one wants a messy explosion in the oven! After assembling them all, I place these delightful bombs on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with melted butter, sprinkling a little garlic powder, parsley, and some salt to give them that extra touch.
Finally, I pop them into the oven and let them bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until they are a gorgeous golden-brown. The aroma that fills my kitchen during this time is simply irresistible and promises a tasty treat! Once they are done baking, I let them cool for a few minutes before serving them hot with some ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
Pro Tips for Best Results
I tested this recipe using both pre-cooked rotisserie chicken and freshly cooked chicken breast, and honestly, the rotisserie chicken won for its flavor and convenience! It’s such a time saver when I’m in a rush. Plus, it makes the bombs even more scrumptious!
Also, I found that adding a bit more cheese takes these bomb accents to the next level. If you’re a cheese lover like me, feel free to add an extra handful of mozzarella to the filling—it makes for that cheesy pull that turns a good bite into an unforgettable one.
Lastly, don’t skimp on allowing these beauties to cool for a few minutes after baking. I was too eager once and bit into one too early, which resulted in a small burn—a lesson learned!
Common Mistakes to Avoid
One of the biggest mistakes I made when I first tried these bombs was not sealing them tightly enough. I had a few explode in the oven, which resulted in a bit of a mess! Trust me; pinch those seams shut. It avoids unnecessary clean-up and ensures all that gooey filling stays inside where it belongs. (See the next page below to continue…)
