Buffalo Chicken Bombs with Bacon (Printable)

Crispy bacon-wrapped chicken stuffed with spicy buffalo cream cheese filling. Ultimate party appetizer.

# What goes in:

01 - 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

02 - 4 oz cream cheese softened

03 - 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

04 - 1/4 cup buffalo wing sauce

05 - 2 green onions finely chopped

06 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

07 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

08 - 8 slices streaky bacon

09 - Toothpicks for securing

10 - Fresh chives or parsley chopped

11 - Extra buffalo sauce for drizzling

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

02 - Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.

03 - In a bowl, mix cream cheese, mozzarella, buffalo sauce, green onions, garlic powder, and black pepper until smooth.

04 - Stuff each chicken breast with an equal amount of the cheese mixture, pressing the edges to seal as best as possible.

05 - Wrap each stuffed chicken breast with 2 bacon slices, overlapping to cover the filling. Secure ends with toothpicks if needed.

06 - Place chicken bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

07 - Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F) and bacon is crispy.

08 - If desired, broil for 2-3 minutes to crisp up the bacon further.

09 - Rest for 5 minutes, then remove toothpicks. Drizzle with extra buffalo sauce and garnish with chives or parsley.

01 -

The combination of creamy cheese filling and spicy buffalo sauce creates an explosion of flavors in every bite
Bacon wrapping keeps the chicken incredibly moist while adding that perfect smoky crispiness everyone craves
These look impressive but come together faster than youd think, making them perfect for lastminute guests

02 -

Secure those bacon slices with toothpicks or theyll shrink and slide off during baking
Letting the chicken rest for 5 minutes is crucial, cutting into it immediately will make all that cheesy filling run out

03 -

If your chicken breasts are uneven thickness, pound them slightly before stuffing for uniform cooking
For extra crispy bacon, pat the chicken dry with paper towels before wrapping
