    ❤️ Why you'll love it

    Buffalo flavors: fans of buffalo wings will love the buffalo flavors in the creamy chicken filling.

    Easy chicken dinner: you will love to have this recipe on file if you are always looking for tasty chicken recipes to make for dinner, or to make with leftover chicken.

    Ingredients for Buffalo Chicken Baseballs.

    🥘 Ingredients

    Leftover chicken: I like to use leftover rotisserie chicken that I've made myself, but you can also buy it from the grocery store.

    Crescent roll dough: I only use Pillsbury, there is a difference in quality in my opinion and these work best.

    Reduced fat cream cheese: also called ⅓ less fat cream cheese, I recommend Philadelphia brand.

    Hot sauce: Your favorite hot sauce will work. I have used Red Hot and Texas Pete. Both are good.

    Cilantro: this is optional, if you are adverse to cilantro, just leave it out.

    Worcestershire sauce: just a little bit to enhance the flavor of the filling.

    Milk: you need just enough milk to loosen the filling up a little bit.

    🔪 Instructions

    1. In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer on medium speed, mix together the hot sauce and cream cheese together until creamy.
    2. Add worcestershire sauce and milk. Once incorporated stir in chopped chicken and cilantro (if using). Set aside.
    3. Open can of crescent rolls and separate the four rectangles from each other. Do not separate the rectangles into the triangles.
    4. Using a rolling pin, roll out one of the rectangles to flatten and stretch it out more, pinching seams together to prevent holes as you roll.
    5. Place ½ cup chicken mixture in the center of dough and then pull opposite corners over the filling and pinch together to seal.
    6. Place on parchment lined cookie sheet and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Repeat with remaining 3 sections of dough.
    7. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes, or until golden brown.

    🥄 Equipment

    Baking sheet: if using a cookie sheet, line it with parchment paper. I used a baking stone and did not need parchment paper.

    Large bowl: to mix the filling

    Rolling pin: to roll out the crescent dough

    Measuring cups: you will use the ½ cup measure to scoop the filling onto the dough.

    🥫Storage

    Refrigerate: store any leftover buffalo chicken baseballs in the fridge in an airtight container up to 4 days.

    Reheat: reheat in a 300 degree oven for 10 minutes or in the microwave until warmed through.

    📖 Variations

    • Use a reduced fat crescent roll for a lower fat and calorie version
    • Stir 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese into the cream cheese filling
    • Add 1 diced jalapeno for additional heat.

      Well that looks doable enough to use Tabasco instead of Red Hot, since Kevin doesn't like it. Looks like the boys/man would like those baseballs.
