  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded chicken
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 tbsp ranch seasoning
  • 2 jalapeños, finely chopped
  • 1 package crescent roll dough or breadcrumbs for crunch
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk or milk
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, sharp cheddar, ranch seasoning, and finely chopped jalapeños.
  3. If using crescent roll dough, unroll and cut into squares; place a spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center and wrap the dough around it. If using breadcrumbs, form the mixture into small bites and coat with breadcrumbs.
  4. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
  5. For the creamy dip, mix cream cheese, sour cream, buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl until smooth.
  6. Serve the chicken poppers warm with the dip on the side.

Notes

Pat shredded chicken dry before mixing. Adjust jalapeño quantity based on heat preference. Space poppers for even baking.
