Buffalo Chicken Mozzarella Bombs (Printable version)

Spicy buffalo chicken and melted mozzarella encased in golden dough — perfect bite-sized game-day shareables.

# List of ingredients:

01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

02 - 1/3 cup buffalo wing sauce

03 - 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened

04 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)

05 - 12 small mozzarella balls or 12 cubes, about 1 inch each

06 - 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough or pizza dough, 16 ounces, divided into 12 pieces

07 - 2 tablespoons melted butter

08 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder

09 - 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

02 - In a mixing bowl, blend shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, softened cream cheese, and chopped chives until thoroughly combined.

03 - Flatten each dough piece into a 3-inch round.

04 - Spoon 1 tablespoon of the chicken mixture and add 1 mozzarella ball to the center of each dough circle.

05 - Wrap dough securely around the filling, pinching edges to seal and shaping into a ball. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

06 - Combine melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley. Brush each dough ball generously with the butter mixture.

07 - Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown.

08 - Allow bombs to cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm, accompanied by ranch or blue cheese dip as desired.

It’s secretly the easiest wow-factor snack you can make with just a few store-bought shortcuts.
The spicy chicken and molten cheese center delivers that unforgettable bite every party craves.

I learned the hard way that if the dough isn’t sealed tightly, the cheese will escape and you’ll lose the ‘bomb’ effect.
Letting the bombs cool for just a few minutes keeps everyone from burning their mouths and helps the centers stay together when bitten into.

Try brushing the bombs again with the garlic-butter mix halfway through baking for an extra gorgeous, flavorful crust.
Stash any leftovers in foil and reheat in the oven for a few minutes—they return to melty perfection.
