Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 16 wells of two 12 cup muffin pans with cooking spray.
Unroll crescent rolls and separate at perforations into 16 triangles. Press one piece into each cup of prepared muffins pans leaving 3 pointed edges free. 16 total.

Mix in chicken, cheese, bacon and green onion by hand.
Divide filling evenly among crescent rolls. Bring pointed edges together and pinch to close.
Brush the tops with butter and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Notes

Do You Have to Use a Muffin Pan to Make Chicken Bacon Ranch Crescent Bombs? A muffin pan is important for the crescent rolls to maintain their shape. The chicken filling may cause the crescent roll dough to spread unevenly if placed individually on a sheet pan to bake.
Spray or Butter the Pan - You can brush the wells of the muffin pan with butter or spray them with cooking spray. Either way the goal is to prevent sticking.
Cheese - I use sharp cheddar cheese in these crescent rolls bombs, but feel free to adapt with whatever flavor of cheese you have on hand in the same amount. Coly jack cheese, mozzarella cheese, mild cheddar cheese or spicy pepper jack cheese.
Crescent Rolls - Use a quality brand of crescent rolls for the best result. I've tried some private label store brands that don't seem to hold up as well as the original Pillsbury brand. If you've had success using a particular private label brand, go for it!
Assembling Tip - When pressing the crescent dough into the muffin pan, leave enough dough overhang so that you can easily grasp the corners to secure on top.
Baking - While baking, some of the filling may ooze and bubble from the openings in the crescent roll dough. As soon as you remove them from the oven, take an offset spatula or knife and press it back into place.
