Ingredients
→ Main Ingredients
- 01 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 02 1 tsp olive oil
- 03 1 pizza dough, defrosted in refrigerator overnight
- 04 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
- 05 8 oz shredded cheddar cheese
- 06 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce, divided
- 07 1/4 cup ranch dressing
Steps
Step 01
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 02
Toss the cooked chicken with 1/4 cup of buffalo wing sauce. Adjust sauce quantity based on desired heat level. Stir in ranch dressing and the remaining 1/4 cup of wing sauce until evenly combined.
Step 03
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a long rectangular shape.
Step 04
Spread the buffalo ranch sauce mixture evenly across the dough. Add the chicken, then top with the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.
Step 05
Roll the dough from one side to form a log. Seal both ends to prevent filling from oozing during baking, and place the log seam-side down on a non-stick or greased baking sheet.
Step 06
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Allow the stromboli to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Step 07
Slice into portions and serve with pizza sauce, ranch, or blue cheese dressing for dipping if desired.
Tips
- Adjust the heat level by varying the amount or type of buffalo sauce. Seal both sides of the dough to prevent leakage.
