Ingredients
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 1/2 cup Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Filling
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
3. Prepare the Biscuits
Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a circle about 4 inches in diameter. You can use your hands or a rolling pin to do this.
4. Fill the Biscuits
Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken Alfredo filling in the center of each flattened biscuit. Be careful not to overfill, as the filling may ooze out during baking.
5. Seal the Bombs
Gather the edges of the biscuit circle and pinch them together to form a ball, ensuring the filling is completely enclosed. Place the seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Brush and Bake
Lightly brush the tops of each biscuit bomb with melted butter or cooking spray. This will give them a nice golden color once baked. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuit bombs are golden brown and cooked through.
7. Garnish and Serve
Remove from the oven and let the bombs cool for a few minutes. For an extra touch, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top before serving. Enjoy these delicious Mini Chicken Alfredo Biscuit Bombs while warm!
