This Chicken Bacon Ranch Stromboli is a savory Italian-inspired rolled sandwich featuring tender shredded chicken, crispy bacon, melted mozzarella cheese, and tangy ranch dressing wrapped in a golden, flaky pizza dough. Perfectly baked to a golden crisp, it makes a delicious and satisfying meal ideal for lunch, dinner, or a hearty snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)

Fillings

  • 2 cups shredded chicken
  • 1/2 cup crispy bacon bits
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing

Finishing

  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Optional herbs for garnish (such as parsley or oregano)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to fully preheat while you prepare the stromboli.
  2. Prepare the dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a rectangular shape, approximately 12×16 inches, ensuring an even thickness for uniform baking.
  3. Spread ranch dressing: Evenly spread the 1/4 cup of ranch dressing over the surface of the rolled-out dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges to prevent leakage when rolled.
  4. Layer the fillings: Top the ranch-covered dough with 2 cups of shredded chicken, followed by 1/2 cup crispy bacon bits, and then 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, distributing everything evenly.
  5. Roll and seal: Carefully roll the dough starting from one long edge into a tight log shape. Pinch and fold the edges to seal the stromboli completely to prevent the filling from spilling out during baking.
  6. Apply egg wash: Beat 1 egg and brush it generously over the surface of the rolled stromboli to give a beautiful golden, shiny crust once baked.
  7. Bake the stromboli: Place the stromboli on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until it turns golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
  8. Cool and serve: Remove the stromboli from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Slice into 1-inch thick pieces, garnish with optional fresh herbs, and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can use homemade or high-quality store-bought pizza dough.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding garlic powder or Italian seasoning to the chicken before layering.
  • Ensure the stromboli is sealed well to avoid filling leakage during baking.
  • If you prefer, add other vegetables like sautéed bell peppers or onions for variation.
  • The ranch dressing adds moisture and tang; do not skip it for best flavor.
  • Let the stromboli rest briefly after baking to make slicing easier and to avoid burns.
