Main Ingredients
- 1 (13.8-ounce) can refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1/2 cup chopped crisp bacon (about 12 slices)
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing, plus more for dipping
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it's ready for baking the stromboli.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough onto a piece of parchment paper placed on a sheet pan, stretching it evenly.
- Add Cheese: Spread 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella evenly down the center of the dough, leaving about an inch free on each end and roughly one-third of the dough empty on both sides.
- Layer Fillings: Sprinkle the shredded rotisserie chicken, chopped crisp bacon, and ranch dressing evenly over the cheese layer.
- Roll Dough: Fold over one of the empty sides of dough, then roll tightly like a cinnamon roll, ensuring the seams and ends are pinched together securely to seal the filling inside.
- Prepare Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to create an egg wash.
- Brush and Season: Place the stromboli seam-side down on the sheet pan. Brush the top thoroughly with the egg wash. Sprinkle ranch seasoning and chopped fresh parsley over the top, then cut a few small slits across the surface to allow steam to escape.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the stromboli is golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Serve: Let cool slightly, then slice and serve warm with additional ranch dressing for dipping, if desired.
Notes
- Ensure the seam and ends are tightly sealed to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- You can substitute rotisserie chicken with cooked shredded chicken breast for fresh preparation.
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of garlic powder or Italian seasoning to the filling.
- Use fresh parsley for garnish or replace with dried parsley if fresh is unavailable.
- The egg wash helps the stromboli achieve a shiny, golden crust but can be omitted for a dairy-free or vegan variation by brushing with olive oil.
- Store leftovers wrapped in foil in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
