These Garlic Butter Bacon Ranch Chicken Pretzel Bombs are the ultimate savory and irresistible bite-sized treat. Tender chicken is wrapped in a fluffy pretzel dough, then baked to golden-brown perfection and coated in a heavenly garlic butter sauce and sprinkled with crispy bacon and ranch seasoning.
Ingredients
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
– 1 package refrigerated pretzel dough
– 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
1. – Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. – In a medium bowl, toss the chicken cubes with 2 tbsp of the melted butter and 1 tbsp of the ranch seasoning. Set aside.

9. – Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
These pretzel bombs can be made ahead of time and frozen before baking. When ready to serve, bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time. For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the garlic butter mixture.
