Cheesy Ranch Chicken Bombs

These crispy, cheesy, ranch-flavored chicken bites are an instant crowd-pleaser! Here’s a delicious recipe that’s perfect for game day, parties, or family dinners.

Ingredients

For the filling:

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked and shredded

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened

• 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions

• 2 tablespoons cooked and crumbled bacon (optional)

For assembly:

• 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)

• 4 tablespoons melted butter

• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs

• 1 teaspoon dried parsley

• Ranch dressing for dipping

Instructions

1. Prepare filling: In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, cream cheese, ranch seasoning, cheddar, mozzarella, green onions, and bacon (if using). Mix until well combined.

2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. Prepare coating: In a shallow dish, mix Parmesan, panko, and dried parsley.

4. Assemble bombs: Separate biscuit dough and flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle. Place about ¼ cup of chicken mixture in the center of each biscuit. Gather edges and pinch to seal, forming a ball.

5. Coat bombs: Dip each ball in melted butter, then roll in Parmesan-panko mixture until coated. Place seam-side down on prepared baking sheet.

6. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown and biscuits are cooked through.

7. Serve warm with ranch dressing for dipping.

Tips

• For extra flavor, add ¼ teaspoon garlic powder to the filling

• You can use rotisserie chicken for easier preparation

• These freeze well before baking – just add a few extra minutes to baking time when cooking from frozen

• For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños to the filling
