Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
Cheese and Dairy:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
Base and Seasonings:
- 1 pizza dough
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Gently stretch the pizza dough into a rectangular shape, ensuring an even thickness across the surface.
- Generously spread ranch dressing over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for sealing.
- Distribute shredded chicken evenly across the dough, creating a consistent layer of protein.
- Sprinkle crumbled bacon over the chicken, ensuring an even distribution of smoky flavor.
- Scatter mozzarella cheese across the top, covering the chicken and bacon completely.
- Carefully roll the dough from one long side to the other, creating a tight cylindrical shape.
- Pinch and fold the ends underneath to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- Place the rolled stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the exterior turns a rich golden brown and cheese begins to bubble.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes to allow filling to set.
- Slice diagonally into sections and serve warm.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, brush the outside of the stromboli with olive oil or beaten egg before baking.
- Swap regular bacon for turkey bacon to reduce fat content and make the dish lighter.
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick time-saving hack that adds extra flavor without extra prep work.
- Consider adding chopped green onions or fresh herbs like parsley for a burst of freshness and color contrast.
