Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 package refrigerated pizza dough
- 1/2 cup crispy crumbled bacon
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, BBQ sauce, mozzarella cheese, ranch dressing, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix everything together until well incorporated.
- Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle. Cut the dough into 4-inch squares.
- Fill and Fold: Place a generous scoop of the chicken mixture in the center of each dough square. Fold the corners over the filling and pinch the edges to seal the pizza bombs tightly.
- Bake to Perfection: Arrange the pizza bombs seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and crispy.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza bombs from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle with extra BBQ sauce and sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with sautéed mushrooms or a veggie crumble.
- These pizza bombs can be made ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen before baking.
- Pair with extra BBQ sauce, ranch dressing, or spicy sriracha for dipping.
