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
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, sharp cheddar, ranch seasoning, and finely chopped jalapeños.
- 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.
- Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- For the creamy dip, mix cream cheese, sour cream, buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl until smooth.
- 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.
