Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2-3 tablespoons hot sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Dough
- 1 8-count can biscuits
Finishing
- Butter, for brushing
- Parsley, for sprinkling
- Optional: Ranch dressing to drizzle
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by spraying it with a non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, hot sauce, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until all ingredients are well blended.
- Shape the Bombs: Flatten each biscuit dough piece to about 4-5 inches wide. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, place a portion of the chicken mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit. Carefully pull the sides of the dough together and seal tightly to encase the filling.
- Arrange and Brush: Place each sealed biscuit seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with melted butter to help achieve a golden crust during baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are puffed up and golden brown on top.
- Finish and Serve: After baking, brush the tops with additional butter and sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh touch. Optionally, drizzle with ranch dressing before serving for extra creaminess and flavor.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preferred level of spiciness.
- To ensure the bombs are sealed properly, pinch the dough edges firmly to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- These can be served warm or at room temperature—perfect for parties or as a snack.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in an oven or toaster oven to retain crispiness.
