Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 1/4 cups chopped rotisserie chicken
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups tomato basil pasta sauce
1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits, 8-count
4 slices mozzarella cheese (0.8 oz each), quartered
1 tablespoon melted butter
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped chicken, Parmesan cheese, and 1/2 cup of the tomato basil pasta sauce.
Separate the biscuits and let them rest for 5 minutes. Carefully pull each biscuit apart to create a deep pocket, keeping the bottom and sides intact. Place two quartered pieces of mozzarella inside each pocket.
Add slightly less than 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture into each biscuit, pressing gently to fit. Stretch and seal the dough around the filling to form a ball, then place on the baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brush the tops of the biscuit bombs. Bake for 19–23 minutes or until golden brown.
Warm the remaining pasta sauce in the microwave for 1–2 minutes and serve alongside the biscuit bombs for dipping.

Storage/Reheating

Store leftover biscuit bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes or until warmed through to restore crispness. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

FAQs

Can I use canned chicken instead of rotisserie chicken?

Yes, drained canned chicken works, but rotisserie gives better texture and flavor.

Can I make these biscuit bombs ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble them a few hours in advance and refrigerate until ready to bake.

Can I use homemade biscuit dough?

Absolutely. Homemade dough works well as long as it’s sturdy enough to hold the filling.

How do I keep the filling from leaking out?

Ensure the seams are tightly sealed and avoid overfilling the biscuits.

Can I air-fry these biscuit bombs?

Yes. Air-fry at 325°F for 10–14 minutes, checking for golden tops.

What other cheeses can I use?

Provolone, Monterey Jack, or a mozzarella–cheddar blend all work well.

Can I add vegetables to the filling?

Yes, finely chopped cooked spinach or sautéed mushrooms can be added.

Can I use a different sauce?

Any tomato-based pasta sauce works, such as marinara or tomato basil.

Can I brush the tops with olive oil instead of butter?

Yes, olive oil can be used in place of melted butter.

How do I reheat them without drying out?

Warm them in the oven and cover loosely with foil for the first few minutes to retain moisture.
