Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 lb chicken, shredded
Primary Flavor Components:
- ½ cup buffalo sauce
- ½ cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 package refrigerated pizza dough
- ¼ cup green onions
- 1 egg
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix 1 lb shredded chicken, ½ cup buffalo sauce, ½ cup ranch dressing, and half of the chopped green onions in a bowl until chicken is completely coated.
- Roll out 13.8 oz pizza dough on a floured surface to ¼ inch thickness. Cut into 8 equal squares.
- Place 2 tablespoons of chicken mixture in the center of each dough square. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of mozzarella cheese on top.
- Fold dough corners over the filling, pinching edges tightly to create sealed pockets. Ensure no gaps remain to prevent leaking.
- Arrange pizza bombs on prepared baking sheet. Brush each bomb with 1 beaten egg to create a golden finish.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until pizza bombs are puffed and golden brown. The edges should be crisp and slightly dark.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 3-4 minutes. Garnish with remaining chopped green onions before serving.
- Serve with extra ranch dressing on the side for dipping. Your pizza bombs are ready to enjoy!
Notes
- Seal the pizza bombs carefully to prevent filling leakage, using a fork to crimp edges tightly for a secure pocket.
- Experiment with different hot sauces to adjust the spice level, from mild to extra-hot buffalo sauce depending on your heat preference.
- For a gluten-free version, swap traditional pizza dough with a gluten-free alternative or use large lettuce leaves as a low-carb wrap option.
- Cool the pizza bombs for a few minutes after baking to let the filling set and prevent burning your mouth on the hot interior.
