Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 2 cups (280 g) rotisserie chicken, shredded
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuits, not flaky
- 4 ounces (113 g) cream cheese, room temperature
Cheese and Additional Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (28 g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup (28 g) mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup (68 g) buffalo sauce
- 3 tablespoons buffalo sauce, divided
- 1 teaspoon finely diced green onion
- 1 teaspoon finely diced green onion, for garnish
Dipping Sauce:
- Blue cheese or ranch dressing, for dipping
Instructions
- Craft a zesty filling by blending cream cheese and buffalo sauce until smooth, then fold in shredded chicken, cheddar, mozzarella, and chopped green onions.
- Heat the oven to 375F (190C) and coat a 10-inch oven-safe skillet with nonstick spray.
- Gently roll out each biscuit on a clean surface until uniformly thin, creating a delicate canvas for the filling.
- Distribute the spicy chicken mixture evenly across biscuit rounds, carefully sealing the edges to create compact pockets.
- Arrange the sealed bombs seam-side down in the prepared skillet, generously brushing the tops with buffalo sauce.
- Bake for 24-26 minutes until the exterior transforms into a golden, crispy shell.
- Finish by drizzling additional buffalo sauce over the bombs and garnishing with fresh green onion snippets.
- Accompany with ranch or blue cheese dressing for an indulgent dipping experience.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is softened at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother filling texture.
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and convenient protein option that adds extra flavor.
- Keep biscuits chilled until ready to use, as cold dough is easier to work with and prevents sticking.
- Seal biscuit edges completely to prevent filling from leaking during baking, using gentle pinching motions.
- Try different cheese combinations like pepper jack or blue cheese for a unique flavor profile.
- Adjust buffalo sauce intensity by using mild or hot sauce based on personal spice preferences.
- Make ahead by preparing filling and assembling bombs up to a day in advance, storing covered in the refrigerator.
