Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Refrigerated pizza dough | One 8-ounce can, thin crust |
| Prepared ranch dressing | 1/2 cup, additional for dipping |
| Shredded rotisserie chicken | 2 cups |
| Chopped cooked bacon | 1/2 cup |
| Shredded mozzarella cheese | 2 cups |
Instructions
- Oven Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Dough Preparation:
- Remove the pizza dough from its packaging. On the prepared parchment paper, gently stretch the dough until it is thin and even, taking care not to tear it. This will be the base of your stromboli.
- Adding the Filling:
- Spread a layer of ranch dressing over the stretched dough, leaving about a one-inch border around the edges. This helps seal the roll and prevents the filling from oozing out.
- Evenly distribute the shredded chicken over the dressing, followed by the chopped bacon, and then cover with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Forming the Stromboli:
- Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough toward the opposite side, using the parchment paper as a guide to keep the roll tight. Ensure the seam is positioned underneath to prevent unrolling during baking. Tuck the ends under the stromboli to seal in the fillings.
- Baking:
- Cut several diagonal slits on top of the stromboli to allow steam to escape, promoting even baking and preventing the dough from becoming soggy.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 25 minutes, or until the crust is a deep golden brown.
- Serving:
- Allow the stromboli to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with additional ranch dressing for dipping to enhance the flavor experience.
Enjoy this delectable Chicken Bacon Ranch Stromboli, perfect for a cozy family dinner or a fun meal with friends!
