Handy little lunches (or dinners) like this Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Hot Pockets Recipe are perfect for on the go eating.

This portable little Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Hot Pockets Recipe is a great recipe to make ahead in a big batch and then freeze for lunches and dinners. Cheese, buffalo sauce, chicken, and flaky crescent rolls ensure these hot pockets are full of flavor. Add carrots, celery and a side of ranch for dipping and you will have a new family favorite. These are so much easier and neater to eat than buffalo wings!  Make up a platter for your Superbowl party or even Sunday brunch.

Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Hot Pockets Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 2 tablespoons bleu cheese dressing or ranch dressing
  • 1/3 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 chicken breast, cooked and diced
  • 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough, a package of 8
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 green onion, sliced for garnish

Directions:

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat. (If you aren’t going to use a mat, heat oven to 375 and reduce baking time about 1 – 2 minutes.)
  3. In a small bowl, blend together the cream cheese, hot sauce, and dressing until well combined.
  4. Stir in the cheddar cheese and chicken breast and set the mixture aside.
  5. Open the refrigerated crescent dough and separate the dough into 8 triangles along the perforations.  Lay the triangles out flat.
  6. In the large end of the dough, place about 3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture.
  7. Form the dough around the chicken mixture to try and cover all sides. Use your hands to gently form the dough into a seamless oval shaped pocket with no chicken mixture showing.
  8. Place each chicken pocket onto the prepared baking sheet.
  9. In a microwavable bowl, combine the butter and paprika. Melt on high for about 20 seconds.
  10. Use a pastry brush or silicone brush, to brush the butter mixture onto the tops of all the pockets.
  11. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 – 15 minutes or until the bottoms of the pockets are medium brown.
  12. Remove from the oven and serve warm.buffalo chicken hot pocket recipe

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
