Ingredients

Scale

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works great)

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)

1/2 cup ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing, if preferred)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup green onions, sliced (for garnish, optional)

1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent rolls

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 F (190 C). If using a cast iron skillet, ensure it’s oven-safe. Otherwise, prepare an 8×8 inch baking dish.

2. In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce, and ranch dressing. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined.

3. Stir in the shredded cooked chicken, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese into the cream cheese mixture. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated and cheeses are distributed.

4. Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into your oven-safe skillet or baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.

5. Unroll the can of crescent rolls and separate the triangles. Arrange the crescent roll triangles over the chicken mixture, overlapping slightly if necessary, to create a top crust.

6. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the crescent roll topping.

7. Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

8. Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. If desired, sprinkle with sliced green onions for garnish. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving directly from the skillet.
