Description

Melted Mozzarella & Ranch Chicken Bombs are bite-sized savory snacks featuring shredded chicken, gooey fresh mozzarella, and tangy ranch seasoning, all wrapped in a crispy golden puff pastry or crescent dough shell. Perfect for parties, game days, or comforting snacking, these bombs deliver a delightful contrast of crispy exterior and melty cheesy interior with customizable spice levels and variations.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken breast
  • 1 cup shredded fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Dough and Finishing Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry or crescent dough (enough to cut into squares)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cook the chicken breast until juicy and tender, then shred it finely with forks or chop into small pieces to ensure every bite has the perfect amount of chicken.
  2. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with ranch seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and shredded mozzarella. Stir well until the mixture is evenly coated and cheesy.
  3. Roll Out the Dough: Lay your puff pastry or crescent dough onto a clean surface and cut it into evenly sized squares for uniform baking and a perfect golden crust.
  4. Assemble the Bombs: Place a generous spoonful of the chicken and cheese mixture onto each dough square, then fold and seal the edges tightly to lock in all the gooey goodness.
  5. Brush and Bake: Brush the tops of each assembled bomb with melted butter for a rich shine and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15 to 20 minutes until puffed and golden brown.

Notes

  • Seal Well: Pinch dough edges tightly to prevent filling leaks during baking.
  • Use Fresh Mozzarella: Ensures smooth melting and creamy texture inside the bombs.
  • Don’t Overfill: Keep filling portions moderate to avoid dough breakage.
  • Chill Before Baking: Let bombs rest in the fridge for 15 minutes to prevent shrinking and improve texture.
  • Experiment with Dips: Serve with extra ranch dressing, marinara, or hot honey for flavor variety.
