Ingredients
  

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 count, e.g., Pillsbury Grands!)
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken A rotisserie chicken works well here.
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 packet dry ranch seasoning mix (1 oz)
  • 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded chicken, shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon, and ranch seasoning mix. Stir until everything is evenly mixed.
  3. Separate the biscuit dough and flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle. Place a heaping tablespoon of the chicken mixture into the center of each biscuit.
  4. Carefully stretch the dough up and around the filling, pinching the seams together tightly to form a ball. Place the bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. In a small bowl, melt the butter and stir in the garlic powder and parsley. Brush this garlic butter mixture generously over the top of each bomb.
  6. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the tops are a deep golden brown and the biscuit dough is cooked through.

Notes

Don't Overfill: Be careful not to overstuff the biscuits, as this can cause them to burst open while baking.
Seal Tightly: Pinch the seams very well to ensure no cheesy goodness escapes.
Use Softened Cream Cheese: Let your cream cheese sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This makes mixing the filling much easier.
