Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits
- 1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuits, not flaky
Buffalo Chicken Filling
- 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- ¼ cup (68 g) buffalo sauce
- 2 cups (280 g) rotisserie chicken, shredded
- ¼ cup (28 g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- ¼ cup (28 g) mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon finely diced green onion
Toppings & Garnish
- 3 tablespoons buffalo sauce, divided
- 1 teaspoon finely diced green onion, for garnish
- Blue cheese or ranch dressing, for dipping
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cream cheese and ¼ cup buffalo sauce until smooth and well combined. Add shredded rotisserie chicken, sharp cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and finely diced green onion. Stir until all ingredients are evenly mixed, forming about 2½ cups of filling.
- Preheat oven and prepare skillet: Set the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 10-inch oven-safe skillet with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking during baking.
- Prepare the biscuits: Remove the biscuits from the can and place them on a clean, flat surface. Using a rolling pin, gently flatten each biscuit to about ⅛-inch thickness to create enough surface area for filling.
- Assemble the bombs: Divide the buffalo chicken filling equally between the 8 biscuits, roughly ¼ cup per biscuit. Place the filling in the center of each biscuit and pinch the edges together firmly to seal the filling inside, forming a ball. Arrange the sealed biscuits seam-side down in the prepared skillet.
- Add buffalo sauce topping: Brush the tops of each biscuit bomb with about 2 tablespoons of buffalo sauce, reserving the rest for later drizzling.
- Bake: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 24 to 26 minutes or until the biscuit bombs are golden brown and cooked through.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and drizzle the reserved buffalo sauce over the hot biscuit bombs. Sprinkle with finely diced green onions for a fresh garnish. Serve immediately with extra buffalo sauce and blue cheese or ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature to ensure easy mixing with the buffalo sauce.
- Use shredded rotisserie chicken for convenience; cooked chicken breast can be a homemade alternative.
- If you prefer a milder dish, adjust the buffalo sauce quantity to taste or substitute with a milder wing sauce.
- The biscuit bomb edges must be sealed tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
- These bombs are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven but can be reheated in the oven to retain their crispness.
