Instructions
Buffalo Chicken Filling
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Place chicken breasts in a baking sheet and brush olive oil on all sides of the breasts.
- Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Cover with tin foil and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Uncover and let cool slightly before handling.
- In a large bowl, shred the chicken and mix in the buffalo sauce, cheeses, red onion, and scallions/green onion.
- Set aside and decide how you’re packaging (Pockets OR Rolls)
Buffalo Chicken Pockets
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees or per the packaging.
- Remove the crescent rolls from the packaging and separate the triangles.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of the chicken mix over the wide end of the dough and roll it up (“hot dog” style – the long way) to get that crescent roll look.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown.
- Take out, let cool for a few minutes, and serve with bleu cheese or ranch dressing!
Buffalo Chicken Rolls
- Preheat the oven to the dough’s packaging directions (usually somewhere 400-450 degrees F).
- Remove the defrosted, room temperature pizza dough from the bag and cut into 8 even balls.
- Flatten the balls so they look like mini pizzas.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of chicken filling (or more as needed) on each disc, but stay away from the edges.
- Tightly roll up the dough and seal the edges. You can do this like a calzone, an egg roll, or any way to close it up. Place them on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Place in the oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the dough is golden brown.
- Remove and let cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Serve warm with bleu cheese or ranch dressing!
