Ingredients
- Pizza Dough: Start with a store-bought or homemade pizza dough for the perfect base.
- Cooked Chicken: Shredded rotisserie or grilled chicken works best, providing the protein-packed foundation.
- Buffalo Sauce: Toss the chicken in your favorite buffalo sauce, from mild to wild, to deliver that signature spicy-yet-tangy kick.
- Cheese: A blend of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses melts into gooey perfection, complementing the other flavors.
- Bacon: Crispy, crumbled bacon adds a salty, smoky element that ties the whole dish together.
- Cream Cheese: For an extra creamy texture, incorporate softened cream cheese into the filling.
- Green Onions: Chopped green onions provide a fresh, crunchy contrast and beautiful garnish.
Instructions
1. 1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangular shape.
2. 2. In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, mozzarella, cheddar, and crumbled bacon. Mix everything together until well incorporated.
3. 3. Spread the filling mixture evenly over the prepared dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other, then pinch the seams to seal.
4. 4. Place the rolled stromboli seam-side down on a baking sheet. Brush the top with a beaten egg. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. 5. Allow the stromboli to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh chopped green onions and serve hot.
Notes
You can customize the filling by adding sautéed onions, bell peppers, or jalapeños. Substitute chicken with shredded turkey or a vegetarian option like mushrooms or spinach. This recipe is perfect for game days or family gatherings!
