Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 pre-made pizza dough (about 12x14 inches rolled out)

Filling

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese or ranch dressing (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped celery or green onions

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 garlic clove, minced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, toss shredded cooked chicken with buffalo sauce until evenly coated. Optionally, mix in crumbled blue cheese or diced celery for extra texture and flavor contrast.
  2. Roll out the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll the pizza dough into a large rectangle about 12×14 inches, ensuring an even thinness for proper baking.
  3. Assemble the stromboli: Layer shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Spread the buffalo chicken mixture over the cheese, then sprinkle chopped green onions or additional toppings as desired.
  4. Roll and seal: Carefully roll the dough starting from one long edge, tucking the filling as you go. Pinch and fold the ends tightly to completely seal in the filling to avoid leaks.
  5. Brush and bake: Brush the outside of the stromboli with melted butter mixed with minced garlic to create a fragrant, golden crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden and bubbly.

Notes

  • Use room temperature dough: It rolls easier and is less likely to tear.
  • Don’t overload the filling to prevent leakage.
  • Chill the stromboli for 15 minutes after rolling to maintain shape.
  • Brush with garlic butter for flavor and beautiful browning.
  • Preheat a pizza stone or baking sheet for a crispier crust.
