Ingredients

Filling

  • 1.5 cups cooked, shredded chicken Tender and juicy, ready to soak up flavor.
  • 0.5 cups marinara sauce Rich and tangy, elevates the chicken.
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Creamy, stretchy goodness.
  • 0.25 cups grated parmesan cheese Sharp and nutty.
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder Aromatic, adds a garlic kick.
  • 0.5 tsp dried oregano Earthy and fragrant.

Dough and Topping

  • 1 can pizza dough or biscuit dough (8-count) Soft and fluffy, perfect vessel.
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted Brushed on top for golden finish.
  • 1 tsp garlic powder For buttery glaze.
  • 0.5 tsp Italian seasoning Enhances flavor.
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) Adds a pop of color.
  • 0.25 cups grated parmesan (for topping) More cheesy goodness.

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with marinara sauce, mozzarella, grated parmesan, garlic powder, and oregano.

Assembly

  • Take a piece of dough, flatten it slightly, and spoon a heaping tablespoon of the chicken filling into the center.
  • Fold the edges over and pinch them together to seal.
  • Place the bombs seam-side down on the lined baking sheet.

Baking

  • Brush each bomb with melted garlic butter and sprinkle with parmesan and Italian seasoning.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Let them cool slightly, then garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

For best results, ensure chicken is well-shredded and dough is sealed tightly to avoid filling leakage. A generous garlic butter brush will ensure a crunchy crust.
