Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- Buffalo sauce (about 1/4 cup, adjust to taste)
- 6–8 strips beef bacon, cooked and crumbled
- Mozzarella pearls or ½-inch cubes of mozzarella cheese
- Refrigerated crescent roll dough or pizza dough
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing (for serving)
- Green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Cook your beef bacon until crispy, then crumble it into small pieces.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cooked, shredded chicken with buffalo sauce until thoroughly coated.
- Unroll the dough on a lightly floured surface. If using crescent roll dough, separate it into triangles. If using pizza dough, roll it out and cut into squares.
- Place a small spoonful of the buffalo chicken mixture near the wider end of the dough piece or in the center of a square.
- Add one mozzarella pearl or a ½-inch cube of mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken mixture.
- Sprinkle crumbled beef bacon over the chicken and cheese.
- For crescent rolls, bring the wider ends of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal. For pizza dough, bring the corners up and pinch together to form a ball.
- Place the assembled bombs seam-side down on the baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
- Optional: Whisk one egg with a tablespoon of water and brush the tops of each bomb before baking.
- Bake for 12-18 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Let cool for a minute, garnish with green onions, and serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing.
