Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, bacon, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, Caesar dressing, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together until well mixed. Set aside.
Step 2: Roll Out the Dough
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.
Step 3: Assemble the Chicken Bake
Spoon the prepared filling evenly onto the center of the dough, leaving about an inch of space on each side. Fold the sides of the dough over the filling, then roll it up tightly, sealing the edges to prevent leaks. Place the rolled chicken bake seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4: Add Egg Wash and Bake
Brush the top and sides of the chicken bake with the beaten egg for a golden, crispy crust. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Let the chicken bake cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
