Ingredients

Chicken Mixture

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce, divided
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing

Base and Cheese

  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 pizza dough, defrosted in refrigerator overnight
  • 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 8 oz shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure a hot environment for perfect baking.
  2. Prepare Chicken Mixture: In a bowl, toss the cooked chicken with 1/4 cup of buffalo wing sauce to coat evenly. Adjust the sauce quantity if you prefer more or less heat. Then stir in the ranch dressing along with the remaining 1/4 cup buffalo wing sauce until everything is uniformly combined.
  3. Roll Out Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into a long rectangular shape to create the base for the filling.
  4. Assemble Stromboli: Spread the buffalo ranch chicken mixture evenly over the rolled dough. Next, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses on top to cover.
  5. Form Log Shape: Carefully roll the dough from one side forming a log, then seal both ends tightly to prevent any filling from leaking out while baking. Transfer the log seam-side down onto a non-stick or greased baking sheet.
  6. Bake: Place the stromboli in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese bubbly.
  7. Rest and Serve: Remove from oven and let the stromboli rest for 5-10 minutes to set before slicing. Serve slices with pizza sauce, ranch dressing, or blue cheese dressing for dipping as desired.

Notes

  • Adjust buffalo wing sauce quantity to control spiciness.
  • Letting the stromboli rest before slicing prevents the filling from spilling out.
  • Use either shredded rotisserie chicken or freshly cooked chicken breast for best results.
  • Pizza dough should be thawed in the refrigerator overnight for easier handling.
  • Serve with extra ranch or blue cheese for a traditional buffalo flavor pairing.
