Easy Buffalo Chicken Bombs Everyone Loves
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup buffalo wing sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- 2 (16.3-ounce) cans refrigerated flaky biscuit dough (yielding 16 biscuits)
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp ranch or blue cheese dressing, for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- Shred 2 cups of cooked chicken breast. If starting with raw chicken, cook until done (e.g., boil, bake, or Instant Pot), then shred finely.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened 4 oz cream cheese, ½ cup buffalo wing sauce, 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese, ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp onion powder, and ½ tsp paprika.
- Add the shredded chicken to the cream cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly until the chicken is completely coated in the creamy, cheesy, spicy buffalo sauce mixture.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- On a lightly floured surface, take one biscuit at a time from the cans and flatten it into a circle about 4-5 inches in diameter.
- Spoon about 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons of the buffalo chicken mixture into the center of each flattened biscuit circle. Do not overfill.
- Carefully gather the edges of the biscuit dough up and over the filling, pinching them together at the top to completely enclose the chicken mixture. Gently roll the sealed dough ball between your palms to create a smooth, round bomb. Place each sealed bomb seam-side down on your prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter. Use a pastry brush to lightly brush the tops and sides of each assembled bomb with the melted butter.
- Place the baking sheet into your preheated oven. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the bombs are beautifully golden brown on top and the biscuit dough is cooked through.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Serve warm, optionally garnished with chopped chives or green onions, and with ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
Notes
