Description
Prepare to be amazed by the irresistible flavors of these Crispy Garlic-Parmesan Chicken Bacon Cheese Bombs! This mouthwatering recipe combines tender chicken, melty cheese, savory bacon, and a crispy garlic-Parmesan coating for a truly unforgettable appetizer or snack.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast, diced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- Cooking spray or oil for frying
Instructions
1. First, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, crumbled bacon, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
2. Next, take a small portion of the chicken mixture and shape it into a ball. Repeat this process until you’ve used up all the mixture, creating bite-sized “bombs.”
3. Now, it’s time to coat those delicious chicken bombs! Dip each one into the beaten eggs, making sure to coat them evenly. Then, roll the coated bombs in the breadcrumbs until they’re completely covered.
4. Arrange the coated chicken bombs on a greased baking sheet and give them a light spray of cooking oil or mist. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown and cooked through.
5. Let the Crispy Garlic-Parmesan Chicken Bacon Cheese Bombs cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy this irresistible combination of crispy, gooey, and savory flavors.
Notes
To achieve the best texture and flavor, make sure to thoroughly mix the chicken, cheese, bacon, and seasonings. This ensures the flavors are evenly distributed throughout each bomb. For an extra crispy coating, you can double-dip the bombs in the egg and breadcrumbs.
