Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast
  • 6 strips bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled
  • 1 cup provolone cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs

Dough

  • 4 large flour tortillas or equivalent amount of rolled-out pizza dough

Optional for Assembly

  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken and Bacon: Cook chicken breast thoroughly and shred finely using two forks for an even texture. In a separate pan, crisp bacon strips and crumble once cooled to add smoky crunch.
  2. Mix the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, diced onions, provolone cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Italian herbs. Stir well until the mixture is creamy and evenly blended.
  3. Assemble the Bake: Lay out a flour tortilla or rolled pizza dough flat on a clean surface. Spoon the filling down the center, then carefully fold or roll the dough over the filling, pinching or sealing the edges tightly to prevent leakage during baking.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Place the sealed bakes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally, brush the dough with beaten egg for a golden shine. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15 to 20 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and slightly crispy.
  5. Serve Warm and Enjoy: Allow the bakes to cool for a few minutes before slicing to keep the filling intact. Serve fresh for maximum flavor and satisfaction, optionally garnished with chopped parsley or chives.

Notes

  • Use two forks to shred chicken quickly and uniformly for optimal texture.
  • Do not overfill the dough to avoid tearing or leaking during baking.
  • Chill assembled bakes in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before baking to help them hold together better.
  • Use parchment paper on the baking sheet for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Brushing with an egg wash before baking gives a shiny, golden crust.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute sour cream, mayonnaise, and cheese with vegan alternatives.
  • Pre-cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken can be used to save time.
  • To keep the crust crispy when reheating, warm in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes instead of microwaving.
