Ingredients for Parmesan Cloud Chicken Bombs
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
- 1 lb chicken tenders or cooked shredded chicken
- Salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and all-purpose chicken seasoning (to taste)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 2-3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Garlic Parmesan Sauce Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/8 – 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Cooking Method for Parmesan Cloud Chicken Bombs
First, season the chicken tenders with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and all-purpose chicken seasoning. Cook them in a skillet over medium heat until done, then remove and shred them if using whole tenders.
In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with softened cream cheese and shredded mozzarella or cheddar until the ingredients are well combined.
Next, roll the biscuit dough into balls and flatten them. Place some of the chicken mixture inside each flattened biscuit, then fold the dough to enclose the filling, pinching the edges to seal them.
Arrange the chicken bombs on a baking sheet and brush them with a mixture of melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Sprinkle the tops with grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake the Parmesan Cloud Chicken Bombs at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and cooked through.
Making the Garlic Parmesan Sauce
While the chicken bombs are baking, prepare the Garlic Parmesan Sauce. Melt the butter in a saucepan and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens. Finally, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it’s melted and the sauce is creamy.
Serve the Parmesan Cloud Chicken Bombs warm, drizzled with the delectable Garlic Parmesan Sauce. The contrast of the crispy exterior and the creamy, cheesy interior is simply divine.
Serving Suggestions for Parmesan Cloud Chicken Bombs
These Parmesan Cloud Chicken Bombs make the perfect party appetizer or snack. Serve them alongside a fresh green salad or your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or blue cheese. They also pair beautifully with a glass of white wine or a refreshing craft beer.
Variations and Customizations
For a healthier twist, you can use whole wheat or low-calorie biscuit dough in place of the regular refrigerated variety. Swap the cream cheese for Greek yogurt for a lighter filling. To add more veggies, try incorporating spinach, diced bell peppers, or sautéed mushrooms into the chicken mixture.
If you’re not a fan of Parmesan, you can experiment with other cheese varieties, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend of your favorites. And for a pop of flavor, you can add a sprinkle of dried herbs or a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
FAQs about Parmesan Cloud Chicken Bombs
How can I make Parmesan Cloud Chicken Bombs healthier?
To make Parmesan Cloud Chicken Bombs healthier, consider using whole wheat or lower-calorie biscuit dough instead of regular refrigerated dough. You can also opt for leaner cuts of chicken, such as chicken breast, and reduce the amount of cream cheese or substitute it with Greek yogurt for a lower-fat option. Incorporating more vegetables, such as spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms, into the filling can add nutrients and fiber while keeping the dish flavorful. Additionally, you can reduce the amount of cheese or use reduced-fat cheese varieties to cut back on calories and fat content.
Can I use leftover rotisserie chicken for this recipe?
Absolutely! Using leftover rotisserie chicken is an excellent way to save time and add flavor to your Parmesan Cloud Chicken Bombs. Simply shred the rotisserie chicken and mix it with the other filling ingredients as you would with raw chicken. Since the chicken is already cooked, you can skip the initial cooking step and proceed directly to assembling and baking the bombs. This makes the recipe even quicker and easier while still delivering great taste.
What is the best way to reheat Parmesan Cloud Chicken Bombs?
The best way to reheat Parmesan Cloud Chicken Bombs is to use an oven or an air fryer. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place the chicken bombs on a baking sheet. Heat them for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are warmed through and the exterior is crispy again. If using an air fryer, set it to 350°F (175°C) and heat for about 5-8 minutes. Avoid microwaving them, as this can make the biscuit dough soggy.
How can I enhance the flavor of the Garlic Parmesan Sauce?
To enhance the flavor of the Garlic Parmesan Sauce, consider adding a splash of white wine or lemon juice while simmering the cream for added acidity and depth. You can also incorporate fresh herbs like basil or thyme for an aromatic twist. For a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce. Additionally, experimenting with different types of Parmesan or adding a bit of blue cheese can create a richer flavor profile to complement the chicken bombs.
