Chicken Bacon Ranch Crescent Bombs
My boys are absolute shoe-ins for any dish that starts with "chicken bacon ranch." Chicken Bacon Ranch Pull Apart Rolls, Stromboli and the same trio in Chicken Bacon Ranch Pinwheels are just a few you'll find here in the MSSK recipe index. Regardless if I'm putting together a party food menu or, looking for a way to use a rotisserie chicken from one of my trips to Costco, this flavor combo is here to stay. You can make these crescent roll treats using any cooked or leftover chicken but, If you'd like to try making your own rotisserie chicken checkout this recipe from Culinary Hill for pointers.
Do You Have to Use a Muffin Pan?
A muffin pan is important for the crescent rolls to maintain their shape. The filling may cause them to spread unevenly if placed individually on a sheet pan to bake.
Tips for making:
- The filling can be made in advance then chilled in an airtight container until you're ready to assemble for baking.
- I use sharp cheddar cheese in these but, feel free to adapt with whatever flavor of cheese you have on hand.
- Use a quality crescent roll for the best result. When pressing into the muffin pan, leave enough dough overhang so that you can easily grasp the corners to secure on top.
- While baking, some of the filling may ooze from the openings in the dough. Don't fret, as soon as you remove them from the oven, take an offset spatula or knife and press it back into place.
- Have fun and get the kids involved, they love to eat food they've made.
