Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground chicken Swap for turkey for a leaner option.
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Feel free to experiment with cheddar for a sharper taste!
  • 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled Bacon adds a crispy texture—don’t skimp on this tasty addition!
  • 1/4 cup Buffalo hot sauce You can adjust this to your spice preference.
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs Opt for whole-grain for a healthier twist.
  • 1 tsp garlic powder A must for enhancing the flavor profile.
  • to taste none Salt and pepper Season to your taste.
  • 1 package pre-made pizza dough For convenience—and let’s be honest, who has time to make dough from scratch?

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the ground chicken, crumbled bacon, shredded mozzarella, Buffalo sauce, garlic powder, and seasoning.
  3. Gradually add breadcrumbs to the mixture until it’s well combined but still moist.
  4. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough. Cut it into 8-10 squares, about 4 inches wide.
  5. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto the center of each dough square.
  6. Fold the edges over to seal tightly, creating little pockets of deliciousness.
  7. Place the bombs seam-side down on a greased baking sheet.
  8. Brush the tops with a touch of olive oil for a golden finish.
  9. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  10. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Consider variations such as using ground turkey for a lighter version, adding jalapeños for extra flavor, or using BBQ sauce instead of Buffalo for a different twist. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
