That’s right. I did it. I made something with the words, “cheesy” “bacon” and “bombs” and honestly, they are pretty dang healthy! I was waiting for Eric to get back from the store with ingredients for another recipe I was working on the other day. Pepper was asleep, and I was itching to cook. So I opened up the fridge and realized I had some leftover shredded chicken and bacon that needed to be used up. The rest is history.
CHEESY CHICKEN BACON BOMBS WERE BORN!
I honestly was thinking they would be a little dry the first time around, and that I would have to play with the recipe a little bit. No. WRONG. If you like cheese, bacon, chicken, and delicious food. Literally go run to your nearest market for these ingredients, and if you have people in your household who are not worried about eating their portion size. DOUBLE THE RECIPE. They will fly out of the muffin tin. Like, for real, they won’t even make it to a serving plate.
I normally don’t toot my own horn this much, but I am helping you. New boyfriend? Make these. He will marry you. I promise. You’re welcome.
Aren’t they gorgeous?
Enjoy!
Cheesy Chicken Bacon Bombs!
Ingredients
- 1 7.5 ounce can refrigerated Buttermilk Biscuits These are smaller biscuits. You can find these with the other biscuits in the refrigerated section. If you can't find you can try the larger biscuits cut in half.
- 1½ cups Chicken Breast (cooked and shredded)
- ¾ cup shredded reduced fat cheddar, shredded
- ½ cup 1% low fat cottage cheese
- 5 slices Center Cut Bacon (cooked and chopped)
- ½ cup green onions (chopped)
- ¼ tsp garlic salt
- ¼ tsp Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly spray a regular sized muffin tin with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, throw in all of the ingredients above EXCEPT the biscuits. Stir until combined well.
- Roll out each biscuit so it makes a nice, flat circle. press the circle of dough into the bottom of 10 of the muffin tin spaces (it will fill the bottom and about halfway up the sides of each muffin cup).
- Evenly scoop the chicken and bacon mixture into each cup. Garnish with some chopped green onions.
- Bake at 375 for about 22 minutes, or until lightly browned and cheese is melted. ENJOY!
Hey Star! Just made these and they were delicious! I made a double batch for just the 2 of us !
Do they freeze well?
These do freeze well!
I just made these and they were AMAZING. Thank you! How to you reheat these?
I do these in the microwave or the air fryer!
These were AMAZING!! I didn’t read the recipe very closely, so I accidentally bought the jumbo biscuits, so I split them in half and rolled. Worked great!!!
Hey Andrea! So happy it worked out with the jumbo biscuits and that you loved it!
Hi, I’m going to make these this week. Do you use 50% or 75% reduced fat cheddar?
Hi Nicole. The cheese I use is Cheddar made with 2% milk. It actually doesn’t say 50% or 75% reduced fat on any of the packages I purchase. If I had to take a guess I would say 50% reduced fat. I hope that helps and I hope you enjoy!
I’m confused on how 4 biscuits makes 10 bombs. Also it says 3pts per bomb but says this makes 4 servings at the top of the recipe.

So I made these and I thought “great, everyone is dieting in our house so there will be leftovers.” Turns out everyone dieting didn’t make a difference because my family plowed through these and asked why I didn’t make more. Lol Thank goodness they were low points though… can’t deny that I ate several as well. Thanks for so many great meals that my family and I love!

Hi. Would love to try these but I’m unclear how you are making 10 bombs out of 4 biscuits? Unless I’m reading incorrectly?
Nevermind, I just googled and see what you mean. LOL. Sorry!
It’s okay. I hope it makes sense to ya now. Enjoy! These are a favorite!

This looks delicious! But… I’m wondering if there may be a substitute I could make for the cottage cheese? I have a real aversion to it, but everything about this sounds amazing! LOL
Maybe just add a little extra sour cream and cheese! =)

I just put these in the oven and can’t wait to eat! Sadly, I didn’t have bacon so I’ll have to make them again.
