Easy Chicken and Broccoli Pizza Bombs
These pizza bombs are filled with a savory mixture of cooked chicken, broccoli, and cheese, all encased in golden-brown pizza dough. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.
Ingredients
- 1 pound cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup broccoli florets, steamed and chopped
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 can (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Marinara sauce for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped broccoli, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Roll Out the Dough: Unroll the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface and cut it into squares, approximately 4×4 inches in size.
- Fill the Dough: Place a generous spoonful of the chicken and broccoli mixture in the center of each dough square. Fold the corners of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal tightly.
- Bake: Place the pizza bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with olive oil for a golden finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
