What is Chicken Bacon Ranch Bomb All About?

The chicken bacon ranch bomb is a round, ounce appetizer filled with shredded chicken, crispy bacon, creamy ranch, and melted cheese, all cooked into biscuit or crescent roll dough. When baked into a golden, fluffy exterior, this satellite of goodness is best savored hot. We have little flavor pockets here with every comfort food bite.

Ingredients

Filling

2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (about 5 strips)
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup ranch dressing
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
Pinch of black pepper

For wrapping

1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 pieces) or crescent rolls
2 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp dried parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) with a baking sheet set up with parchment paper.
Collect all of the ingredients except the biscuits and melted butter in a deep bowl to mix together.
All the items should blend into a smooth, homogeneous mixture, suggesting soft ranch, cheddar, chopped chicken, and dry ranch. You can now set this aside.
With each biscuit, you flatten, then fill with 1-2 tablespoons of filling.
Fold the dough around the filling, sealing the edges with your fingers into uniformly sized balls.
Place, seam-side down, on the baking sheet. Brush tops of rolls with melted butter, then garnish with fresh parsley.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

Storage Tips

Any left is okay in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat crispy leftovers at 350°F in an oven or an air fryer for 5-7 minutes.
Before baking, freeze up to 1 month straight from frozen for an additional 3-4 minutes. Or follow the package instructions, but make lunch the night before.

Serving Suggestions

Pair well with some light ranch or blue cheese dip.
Serve alongside slices of fresh, crisp celery or carrot to balance the meal.
To transform them into a meal, add servings of a lovely salad.

Pro Tips & Variations

For greater stringiness, you could use mozzarella rather than cheddar.
If you like your food with a kick, add some jalapeños.
Use crescent roll dough for a lighter, crisp type of dough.
Try turkey bacon to reduce fat and bring in another flavor.
