Description

This Buffalo Chicken Stromboli is a deliciously spicy twist on the classic Italian stromboli, filled with shredded rotisserie chicken, creamy buffalo sauce, tangy ranch seasoning, and a blend of sharp cheddar and pepper jack cheeses. Wrapped in a crispy golden pizza crust and baked to perfection, this hearty dish is perfect for game day, casual dinners, or any occasion that calls for a flavorful, gooey, and satisfying meal. Serve it with ranch or bleu cheese dressing for an extra creamy dip.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Filling

  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 4 oz softened cream cheese
  • 1 oz packet of ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (a mixture of sharp cheddar and pepper jack)

Assembly & Topping

  • 1 (13 oz) refrigerated pizza crust
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (sharp cheddar and pepper jack mixture)
  • Dried parsley, for garnish
  • Ranch and/or bleu cheese dressing, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the stromboli.
  2. Mix the filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning mix, buffalo sauce, and 2 cups of shredded cheese. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and set aside.
  3. Prepare the crust: Roll out the refrigerated pizza crust on a sheet of parchment paper to make it easy to roll and transfer.
  4. Assemble the stromboli: Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the rolled-out pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent spilling.
  5. Roll and seal: Using the parchment paper to assist, carefully roll up the crust with the filling inside starting from one side. Pinch the seams and ends tightly to enclose the filling completely. Transfer the rolled stromboli, still on the parchment paper, onto a baking sheet.
  6. Add cheese and garnish: Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese over the top of the stromboli, then add a sprinkle of dried parsley for color and flavor.
  7. Bake: Place the stromboli in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
  8. Cool and serve: Let the stromboli cool for approximately 10 minutes to allow the filling to set. Slice into portions and serve warm with ranch or bleu cheese dressing for dipping.

Notes

  • Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds great flavor.
  • Make sure to leave a border on the pizza crust to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
  • Allowing the stromboli to cool before slicing helps maintain clean slices and keeps the filling intact.
  • You can adjust the buffalo sauce quantity based on your preferred spice level.
  • Use parchment paper for easier rolling and transfer to the baking sheet.
  • Serve with additional ranch or bleu cheese on the side for dipping.
