Buffalo Chicken Mozzarella Bombs (Printable Version)

Spicy buffalo chicken and gooey mozzarella wrapped in golden dough for shareable game day bites.

# What You'll Need:

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 (bocconcini) or 12 cubes mozzarella cheese, 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 oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

02 - Mix shredded chicken with Buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, and chives in a mixing bowl until evenly combined.

03 - Flatten each dough piece into a 3-inch round using your hands or a rolling pin.

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

05 - Pinch dough securely around the filling to seal, forming a ball. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

06 - Combine melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley in a small bowl. Brush the butter mixture over each dough ball.

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

08 - Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm with ranch or blue cheese dip.

01 -

The molten, spicy center and stretchy cheese catch everyone off guard, every single time.
Assembling them is almost as much fun as tearing one open right out of the oven.

02 -

If you underseal the dough, molten cheese will leak onto the tray instead of into your mouth.
Brushing butter on as soon as they come out amps up the flavor and keeps them shiny-soft.

03 -

Never overfill the dough—leave space for steam to escape and to avoid blowouts.
Keep a close eye on baking during the last five minutes, since a minute too long can toughen the crust.
