Ingredients
Before we get started, let’s gather all the ingredients you’ll need to create this scrumptious Chicken Bacon Ranch Stromboli. As always, feel free to make substitutions based on what you have at home.
- 1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 6 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Salt and pepper to taste
If you’re feeling adventurous, you can switch out the mozzarella for a different cheese variety, or add some diced tomatoes for a touch of freshness. Cooking is all about making it your own!
Instructions
Let’s roll up our sleeves and get to the heart of the matter—making this delightful dish. Here’s how you can bring this Chicken Bacon Ranch Stromboli to life:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to form a rectangle, approximately 10×14 inches.
- Spread the ranch dressing evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border on all sides.
- Evenly distribute the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, mozzarella, and cheddar cheese over the ranch layer.
- Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley over the top.
- Carefully roll the dough into a log, starting from one of the long sides, keeping the filling inside. Pinch the edges to seal.
- Place the stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top with the beaten egg to give it a nice golden color as it bakes.
- Using a sharp knife, make a few slits on top of the stromboli to allow steam to escape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Enjoy the warm, gooey goodness!
Trust me, the aroma wafting through your kitchen will have everyone gathered at the table before you can even call them!
