Ingredients
Filling
- 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2-3 tablespoons hot sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Dough
- 1 can (8 count) refrigerated biscuits
Toppings
- Butter for brushing
- Parsley for sprinkling
- Optional: Ranch dressing for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Set the prepared sheet aside for later use.
- Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, hot sauce, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix thoroughly until everything is evenly incorporated. Set this mixture aside.
- Assemble Bombs: Flatten each biscuit dough round using your hands or a rolling pin until it measures about 4 to 5 inches wide. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, place a generous portion of the chicken mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit. Carefully pull the edges of the biscuit dough up and around the filling, sealing it tightly to form a ball.
- Prepare for Baking: Arrange each sealed biscuit seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush the tops with melted butter to help them brown beautifully during baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the biscuit bombs are golden brown and cooked through.
- Finish and Serve: After baking, brush the tops with additional melted butter, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and optionally drizzle with ranch dressing before serving.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of hot sauce to suit your preferred spice level.
- Use any type of shredded cooked chicken, such as rotisserie or leftover roast chicken.
- For a crispier exterior, you can bake for an additional 2-3 minutes but watch closely to avoid burning.
- These bombs can be made ahead and reheated in the oven before serving.
- Serve with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
