Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough and Base

  • 1 package pizza dough (enough to roll out to about 12x16 inches)

For the Filling

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup bacon bits
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried herbs (such as Italian seasoning or oregano)

For Baking

  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or olive oil (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, bacon bits, chopped green onions, ranch dressing, garlic powder, and dried herbs. Mix thoroughly until the filling is well-blended and creamy.
  2. Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle approximately 12 by 16 inches. This will serve as the outer wrap for the filling.
  3. Add the Filling: Spread the prepared chicken mixture evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges for sealing.
  4. Roll and Seal: Carefully roll the dough from one long side to the other, forming a tight log. Pinch and seal the edges firmly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Place the rolled bake seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the top with melted butter or olive oil to help crisp the crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  6. Slice and Serve: Allow the bake to rest for 5 minutes after baking to set the filling. Slice into individual servings and enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Use slightly warm chicken to help the cheese melt evenly.
  • If the filling is too runny, refrigerate it for 15 minutes before spreading.
  • Roll the dough tightly but gently to avoid tears or gaps in the crust.
  • Make sure to seal all edges tightly to keep the filling contained.
  • Brushing the crust with butter gives a golden, appetizing finish.
  • Check at 25 minutes to avoid overbaking and drying out the crust or filling.
