Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, marinara sauce, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, and oregano. Mix well to let the flavors mingle.

Assembly

  • Work with one dough piece at a time, flatten it in your hands, and place a heaping spoonful of the filling in the center.
  • Gently fold the edges over the filling and pinch them together to seal.
  • Arrange the bombs, seam-side down, on the baking sheet. Brush each bomb with the melted garlic butter and sprinkle with additional Parmesan and Italian seasoning.

Baking

  • Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Garnish with parsley before serving.

Notes

Ensure the dough is sealed tightly to prevent any filling from escaping during baking. Experiment with different fillings for added variety.
