Chicken Bacon Ranch Stromboli – Page 2

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken and Bacon

If you’re using raw chicken breasts, cook them thoroughly by baking, grilling, or pan-searing. Once cooked, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the pan, crumble, and set aside. Save a little bacon grease to drizzle over the top of the stromboli for extra flavor (optional).

Step 2: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 3: Roll Out the Pizza Dough

On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pizza dough into a rectangular shape. The dough should be about 12 inches long and 8-10 inches wide.

Step 4: Assemble the Stromboli

Spread the ranch dressing evenly over the pizza dough, leaving about 1 inch on all sides for sealing.
Layer the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, mozzarella cheese, and cheddar cheese on top of the ranch dressing.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt evenly over the filling.

Step 5: Roll It Up

Carefully roll up the dough starting from one long side, making sure the filling stays inside. Pinch the edges of the dough together to seal the stromboli.
If desired, gently fold in the ends to prevent any filling from spilling out during baking.

Step 6: Bake the Stromboli

Place the rolled stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the top of the dough with olive oil for a golden, crispy finish.
Sprinkle a little Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning on top if you want to add extra flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling inside.

Step 7: Slice and Serve

Once baked, remove the stromboli from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice it into individual pieces using a sharp knife.
For an extra touch, garnish the slices with freshly chopped green onions.
