Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 1/2 cup bacon bits
  • 1/3 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 slices provolone cheese, cubed or sliced

Crust

  • 1 package pre-made pizza dough or crescent roll dough (enough to roll into approx. 12 x 8 inches rectangle)

Optional for Serving and Garnish

  • Fresh parsley or chives, chopped, for garnish
  • Melted butter, for brushing (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, bacon bits, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in shredded mozzarella cheese and provolone cheese cubes or slices until the mixture is well blended and creamy.
  2. Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza or crescent dough into a 12 by 8 inch rectangle. This gives you an even surface for filling and rolling.
  3. Fill and Shape the Bake: Evenly spread the prepared chicken filling across the dough, leaving a one-inch border on all sides. Carefully roll the dough from one edge into a log shape, pinching the edges firmly to seal the filling inside and prevent leaks during baking.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Place the rolled log seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally, brush melted butter over the crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25 to 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Rest and Slice: Remove the bake from the oven and let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes. This resting time allows the filling to set for easier slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use warm cooked chicken for a creamier filling.
  • Do not overfill the dough to avoid tearing or leaks.
  • Seal the dough edges tightly; use a little water if necessary for a secure seal.
  • Brush the crust with melted butter before baking for enhanced flavor and browning.
  • Allow the bake to cool before slicing to keep the filling intact.
