Time Required

Ingredients (Makes 8 bombs)

For the Filling:

1½ cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

⅓ cup Buffalo sauce (or to taste)

½ tsp smoked paprika

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp dried oregano

Salt & pepper, to taste

½ cup crumbled feta cheese

½ cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar

¼ red onion, finely diced

2 tbsp chopped parsley or mint

¼ cup finely chopped roasted red peppers (optional)

For the Dough:

1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 pieces) or pizza dough, divided into 8

OR use homemade dough (optional – let me know if you’d like a recipe)

 Egg Wash:

1 egg, beaten with 1 tsp water

Optional for Serving:

Tzatziki or ranch for dipping

Pickled jalapeños, olives, or cucumbers on the side

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

In a bowl, mix shredded chicken with Buffalo sauce, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.

Fold in feta, mozzarella, onion, parsley, and roasted red pepper (if using).

Set aside while prepping the dough.

Step 2: Form the Bombs

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.

Roll out each dough piece into a 4–5″ circle.

Place 2–3 tablespoons of filling in the center.

Fold dough around filling, pinch edges tightly to seal, and form into balls.

Place seam-side down on baking sheet. Brush tops with egg wash.

Step 3: Bake

Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Serve with tzatziki or ranch dip.

Tips for Success

Don’t overfill: It makes sealing harder and may cause leaks.

Chill filling: Slightly chilling the filling before stuffing helps with shaping.

Seal tight: Pinch and tuck the dough well to prevent leaks.

Air fryer friendly: Air fry at 360°F (180°C) for 10–12 minutes for extra crispiness.

Variations

Spicy Veggie Version: Use spiced chickpeas, roasted peppers, and feta instead of chicken.

Blue Cheese Kick: Add blue cheese crumbles for classic Buffalo flavor.

Use Pita Dough: Make with homemade pita dough or flatbread for a more Mediterranean base.

Add Greens: Mix in spinach or kale sautéed in garlic for nutrition and texture.
