Buffalo Chicken Crescent Roll
I had a totally different thought for today’s recipe but it just didn’t work out. But seriously who doesn’t love buffalo chicken wings? This isn’t buffalo chicken wings but it has buffalo chicken in it.
Has that ever happened to you? You have one thought for a recipe but then you end up making something else? Then I thought, why not do something else buffalo? I love all things spicy so this thought should have been simple and more immediate. But I digress….
Does an original idea even exist?
I got this thought from several other recipes I’ve seen including some on Tasty as well as Pillsbury. I believe the recipe on Tasty involved nutella or something sweet, I just can’t find the recipe again. The recipe on Pillsbury was more savory and it had an Italian twist.
This is the week of Super Bowl recipes so another buffalo recipe is a must. You have to try the Buffalo Cauliflower. I don’t think I’ll ever look at cauliflower the same again.
This buffalo chicken crescent roll is very simple. I used 4 baked seasoned chicken tenders. Avoid seasoning with salt because buffalo sauce is salty enough in my opinion. Add cheese and your favorite wing sauce and you are good to go!
Tip:
Be careful with the crescent rolls. They tear easily.
Ingredients
- 1 lb fully cooked, baked chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce, (i.e. Frank's)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 can crescent rolls
- 1 tbsp butter/margarine
- Parmesan cheese (enough to sprinkle)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375 F
- Shred chicken breast
- Mix chicken, cheese and wing sauce well
- Spread crescent rolls on baking sheet
- Make sure the perforated parts of the rolls are pinched together to seal
- Make the dough is the length of your baking sheet (FYI: The Pillsbury recipe says 13x7 but I'm not good with measurements so this number was of no use to me.)
- Cut strips on each side of the rolled out dough. Make sure these strips don't touch leaving space in the middle for the chicken mixture
- Spread the mixture the length of the dough, down the middle
- Take the strips, alternating sides, and cross them over the chicken mixture
- Melt the butter/margarine in the microwave
- Brush the butter on the dough
- Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the buffalo chicken crescent roll
- Bake for 25 minutes at 375 F
- Serve with ranch/bleu cheese and your favorite veggies like celery/carrots!
