Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar or cheddar-mozzarella mix
2 tablespoons ranch seasoning (for the filling)
2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 large biscuits)
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon ranch seasoning (for topping)
1/2 cup shredded cheese (for topping)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, 1 cup shredded cheese, 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning, green onions (optional), garlic powder and pepper in a bowl until creamy.
Flatten each biscuit into a circle. Spoon 1–2 tablespoons of filling into the center.
Pull the dough edges up and pinch to seal tightly. Place each bomb seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Mix the melted butter with 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning and brush it over the tops.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheese over each bomb.
Bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown and heated through. Let them cool slightly before serving.

Servings And Timing

This recipe makes about 8 chicken bombs.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Bake time: 15–18 minutes
Total time: about 25–30 minutes

Variations

I sometimes use pepper jack cheese for extra flavor.
I like adding a pinch of smoked paprika or chili powder to the filling for a deeper, slightly spicy taste.
I switch the biscuit dough with crescent dough when I want a lighter, flakier texture.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat, I warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes so they stay crispy. If I’m in a hurry, I microwave one for about 20–30 seconds, though the exterior stays softer.

FAQs

How do I prevent them from opening while baking?

I make sure to pinch the dough firmly so the seams are sealed well before placing them seam-side down.

Can I use rotisserie chicken?

Yes, I often use rotisserie chicken because it saves time and adds great flavor.

Can I make them ahead?

Yes, I assemble them and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours, then bake right before serving.

Can I freeze them?

Yes, I freeze the baked bombs once cooled and reheat them in a 350°F oven for 12–15 minutes.

What can I serve them with?

I like serving them with a side salad, roasted vegetables or dipping sauces like ranch or honey mustard.
