Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 pound cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust based on spice preference)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 strips of cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
Dough
- 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough (16 oz)
Other
- Non-stick cooking spray
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, shredded mozzarella, crumbled bacon, softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Prepare Biscuit Dough: Open the package of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a round disc approximately 4 inches in diameter using your fingers or a rolling pin.
- Fill Biscuit Discs: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the buffalo chicken mixture into the center of each flattened biscuit disc, being careful not to overfill to avoid leaking.
- Seal Bombs: Fold the edges of each biscuit over the filling to form a ball shape. Pinch the edges together tightly to seal the filling inside with no gaps.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each filled and sealed bomb seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Continue until all filling is used.
- Prepare for Baking: Lightly spray the tops of the bombs with non-stick cooking spray for a golden finish. Optionally, sprinkle a little extra garlic powder on top for added flavor.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the biscuit dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the bombs to cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for added color and flavor.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to control the spice level to your preference.
- Ensure the biscuit edges are tightly sealed to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- Leftover bombs can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven for best texture.
- You can substitute the biscuit dough with pizza dough if preferred.
- Serve with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping if desired.
