Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded or diced chicken
  • 6 strips crispy cooked bacon, chopped
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Dough & Topping

  • 1 package pizza dough or crescent roll dough (about 12x8 inches when rolled out)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Filling: Start by cooking or shredding your chicken. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with chopped crispy bacon, mozzarella cheese, parmesan, Caesar dressing, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix gently until evenly combined to create a creamy, flavorful filling.
  2. Roll Out Your Dough: Lightly flour your work surface and roll out your pizza dough or crescent roll dough into a rectangle shape, approximately 12×8 inches. This will be your wrap for the filling, so make sure it’s evenly spread without being too thin.
  3. Spread the Filling: Evenly distribute the chicken mixture along the center of the dough rectangle, leaving room at the edges to seal the bake effectively.
  4. Fold and Seal: Carefully fold the dough over the filling, pressing the edges together to seal tightly. Pinch the seams to prevent the filling from leaking during baking, and place the bake seam-side down on a greased baking tray.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Brush the top of the dough lightly with olive oil or melted butter for a golden, crispy crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is puffed and golden brown.
  6. Cool and Slice: Allow the bake to cool for a few minutes after taking it out of the oven. Then, slice into serving pieces and enjoy the melty, savory goodness.

Notes

  • Use Warm Chicken: Warm chicken mixes evenly and absorbs the dressing better for enhanced flavor.
  • Don’t Overfill: Too much filling can cause the dough to break or leak during baking, so measure carefully.
  • Seal Tight: Pinch the dough edges well to keep the filling inside and prevent messes.
  • Brush with Butter: Applying butter on top before baking adds a beautiful shine and rich taste.
  • Rest Before Serving: Letting the bake rest helps the filling settle, making it easier to slice cleanly.
