Ingredients
  

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

½ cup buffalo sauce (adjust according to your heat preference)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup cream cheese, softened at room temperature

¼ cup ranch dressing (optional, for added creaminess)

2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing the baking sheet

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven is heating, grease a baking sheet with a coating of cooking spray or olive oil to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Chicken Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, and ranch dressing (if using). Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended, creating a creamy and flavorful chicken filling.

      Unroll the Crescent Dough: Take the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it on a clean, flat surface. Carefully pinch the seams together so that the dough forms a single cohesive sheet without any perforated sections.

        Spread the Filling Evenly: With a spatula or the back of a spoon, evenly spread the chicken mixture over the dough, leaving about a ½-inch border around the edges. Then, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken mixture for an extra cheesy goodness.

          Roll the Dough: Starting from one long edge, gently roll the dough away from you to create a tight log. Ensure that the filling is contained as you roll. Once rolled, pinch the seams and ends to seal the mixture inside.

            Slice into Spirals: Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the log into approximately 1-inch wide spirals. You should yield around 12 spirals, depending on how evenly you slice them.

              Arrange on the Baking Sheet: Place the spirals on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is a little space between each spiral for even baking.

                Bake to Perfection: Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescents are beautifully golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

                  Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the spirals from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Just before serving, garnish the warm spirals with thinly sliced green onions for a pop of color and fresh flavor.
