  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Chicken Mixture

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

Dough and Cheese

  • 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 prepare for baking the buffalo chicken stromboli.
  2. Prepare Chicken Mixture: In a bowl, toss the cooked chicken with 1/4 cup of buffalo wing sauce. Adjust the amount based on your preferred heat level. Then stir in the ranch dressing along with the remaining 1/4 cup of buffalo sauce until the chicken is evenly coated with the spicy, creamy mixture.
  3. Roll Out Dough: On a floured surface, roll the pizza dough into a long rectangular shape, suitable to hold the filling and be rolled into a log.
  4. Assemble Stromboli: Spread the buffalo ranch chicken mixture evenly over the dough. Layer the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses on top to cover the filling.
  5. Shape Stromboli: Starting from one side, carefully roll the dough into a log, ensuring the filling stays inside. Seal both ends tightly to prevent any filling from oozing out during baking. Place the stromboli seam-side down on a non-stick or greased baking sheet.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheeses are melted and bubbly.
  7. Rest and Slice: Remove the stromboli from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. This resting time helps the filling set, making it easier to slice.
  8. Serve: Slice into portions and serve warm. Optionally, accompany with pizza sauce, ranch dressing, or blue cheese dressing for dipping.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to your preferred spice level for milder or spicier results.
  • This dish pairs well with additional dipping sauces such as ranch or blue cheese dressing.
  • Resting the stromboli before slicing prevents the filling from spilling out and improves presentation.
  • Use freshly shredded cheeses for better melting and flavor.
