Serve up a classic Buffalo chicken appetizer with a crescent twist on Game Day!

By Pillsbury Kitchens

Updated Oct 12, 2018

Ingredients

4 oz cream cheese (half of 8-oz package), softened
1/4 cup hot sauce or red pepper sauce
2 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken (1/2-inch pieces)
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (4 oz)
2 cans (8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original Crescent Rolls (8 Count)
1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese

Make With

Pillsbury Crescents

Steps

1

Heat oven to 375°F. In small bowl, mix cream cheese and hot sauce until smooth. Mix in chicken and shredded cheese just until combined.
2

Unroll both cans of dough; separate into 16 triangles. On ungreased large cookie sheet, arrange triangles in ring so short sides of triangles form a 5-inch circle in center. Dough will overlap. Dough ring should look like a sun.
3

Spoon cream cheese mixture on the half of each triangle closest to center of ring. Top with blue cheese crumbles.
4

Bring each dough triangle up over filling, tucking dough under bottom layer of dough to secure it. Repeat around ring until entire filling is enclosed (some filling might show a little).
5

Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until dough is golden brown and thoroughly baked. Cool 5 to 10 minutes before cutting into serving slices.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

tip 1
Add a bit of fresh to your appetizer; serve with celery and carrot sticks and a side of blue cheese dressing.
tip 2
You can use leftover cut-up cooked chicken, or pick up a deli rotisserie chicken at the supermarket. Remove chicken from bones, and cut into bite-size pieces.
