Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (plus more for serving)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds or Italian seasoning (optional, for topping)

 


Instructions

  • Preheat and Prepare Dough:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, about 12×15 inches.
  • Prepare the Filling:
    • In a medium bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce until evenly coated.
  • Assemble the Stromboli:
    • Spread the BBQ chicken mixture evenly down the center of the dough, leaving about 2 inches of space on the edges.
    • Sprinkle the mozzarella, cheddar cheese, red onion, and cilantro over the chicken.
  • Fold and Seal:
    • Fold the long sides of the dough over the filling, overlapping slightly in the middle.
    • Pinch the seams and tuck in the ends to seal the stromboli completely.
    • Place it seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Add Egg Wash and Topping:
    • Brush the top of the stromboli with the beaten egg. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or Italian seasoning if desired.
  • Bake:
    • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
    • Let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Serve:
    • Slice into portions and serve warm with extra BBQ sauce for dipping. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Add bacon bits or jalapeños for an extra kick.
  • Use your favorite BBQ sauce to customize the flavor.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes.
