Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pizza dough
- 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken breast shredded
- 6 slices cooked bacon crumbled
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1/4 cup cream cheese softened
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley optional
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle (about 10x14 inches) on a floured surface.
- In a small bowl, mix the ranch dressing and softened cream cheese together. Spread the mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides.
- Layer the shredded chicken and crumbled bacon over the ranch mixture. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese, salt, and pepper.
- Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly into a log shape. Pinch the edges to seal, and place the stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the top of the stromboli with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder and dried parsley (optional).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow the stromboli to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can use rotisserie chicken for a quicker option, or cook and shred your own chicken breasts.
- Feel free to customize with extra fillings like sautéed onions, mushrooms, or spinach.
- Use any cheese you prefer—mozzarella, cheddar, or a blend all work well.
- Make sure to seal the edges of the dough properly to avoid the filling leaking out during baking.
- Serve with extra ranch or marinara sauce for dipping.
