Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 pizza dough, defrosted in refrigerator overnight
  • 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 8 oz shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce, divided
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the stromboli.
  2. Prepare the Chicken Mixture: Toss the cooked chicken with 1/4 cup of buffalo wing sauce to coat evenly. Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce according to your preferred heat level. Then stir in the ranch dressing along with the remaining 1/4 cup of buffalo wing sauce until the chicken is well coated and the mixture is uniform.
  3. Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a long rectangular shape to create the base for the stromboli.
  4. Assemble the Filling: Spread the buffalo ranch chicken mixture evenly across the rolled-out dough. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over the chicken mixture to ensure a cheesy filling.
  5. Form the Stromboli: Carefully roll the dough from one side to form a log shape. Seal both ends tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking. Place the log seam-side down on a non-stick or greased baking sheet to maintain its shape while baking.
  6. Bake: Bake the stromboli in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the dough is golden and cooked through and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
  7. Rest and Serve: Allow the stromboli to rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to let the filling set. Slice into portions and serve with optional dipping sauces like pizza sauce, ranch, or blue cheese dressing for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of buffalo wing sauce according to your spice preference for a milder or hotter flavor.
  • Enjoy with additional dipping sauces such as ranch or blue cheese for a complementary taste.
  • Make sure to seal the ends of the stromboli well to prevent filling from oozing out during baking.
