Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 23 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Dough & Toppings

  • 1 8-count can biscuits
  • Butter for brushing
  • Parsley for sprinkling
  • Optional: Ranch dressing to drizzle

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, hot sauce, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated and set the mixture aside.
  3. Shape bombs: Flatten each biscuit dough until it is about 4-5 inches wide. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, place the chicken mixture into the center of each flattened biscuit. Pull the edges of the dough together tightly around the filling, sealing the seams completely to enclose the filling.
  4. Bake: Place each sealed biscuit seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter to help achieve a golden color. Bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Finish and serve: After baking, brush the tops again with melted butter and sprinkle with parsley for added flavor and color. Optionally, drizzle with ranch dressing before serving for a cooling contrast to the spicy filling.

Notes

  • Adjust hot sauce amount to taste for mild or spicy flavor.
  • Can substitute shredded rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • For a crispier crust, bake a few minutes longer but monitor to prevent burning.
  • Ranch dressing enhances flavor but is optional.
  • Serve warm for best taste and texture.
