Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
  • 1/4 cup bacon bits or cooked bacon, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Crust and Topping

  • 1 sheet puff pastry or equivalent pizza dough (about 10x12 inches)
  • 1 egg, beaten (or milk) for brushing
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked diced chicken, shredded mozzarella, ranch dressing, bacon bits, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well blended and creamy but not soggy.
  2. Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry or pizza dough into a rectangle about 10 by 12 inches to create a base for the filling.
  3. Assemble the Bake: Spread the chicken filling evenly along the center of the dough, leaving about two inches on each side. Fold the dough over the filling, pressing and sealing the edges firmly or crimping with a fork to secure the filling inside.
  4. Add Finishing Touches: Brush the outside of the sealed dough with beaten egg or milk for a glossy, golden crust. Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese evenly over the top for added flavor and browning.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Place the assembled chicken bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is puffed and golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and delicious.

Notes

  • Avoid overfilling the bake to prevent sogginess while ensuring a satisfying bite.
  • Ensure chicken and bacon are fully cooked before mixing to maintain safety and flavor.
  • Seal the edges tightly to prevent filling leaks during baking.
  • Use fresh or quality store-bought dough for the best texture.
  • Allow the bake to rest for 5 minutes after baking before slicing for cleaner pieces and enhanced flavor.
