Ingredients for Chicken Bacon Ranch Stromboli

1 pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
2 cups shredded chicken
½ cup crispy bacon bits
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup ranch dressing

Preparing the Dough for Chicken Bacon Ranch Stromboli

The foundation of a great Chicken Bacon Ranch Stromboli is the pizza dough. You can use a store-bought dough for convenience, or make your own homemade dough for an extra touch of freshness and flavor. If you opt for homemade, be sure to allow enough time for the dough to rise and develop its signature chewy texture.

Once you have your dough ready, the key is to roll it out into a rectangular shape, ensuring an even thickness throughout. This will make it easier to evenly distribute the delicious chicken, bacon, and ranch filling.

Assembling the Chicken Bacon Ranch Stromboli

Now, it’s time to bring all the flavors together. Start by spreading the ranch dressing evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Next, layer the shredded chicken, crispy bacon bits, and shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the ranch.

Carefully roll the dough into a log shape, sealing the edges well to prevent any of the delicious filling from escaping during baking. To give the Chicken Bacon Ranch Stromboli a beautiful golden-brown finish, brush the outside with a beaten egg.

Baking the Chicken Bacon Ranch Stromboli

Preheat your oven to 400°F (about 200°C) and place the prepared stromboli on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Once the Chicken Bacon Ranch Stromboli is out of the oven, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set, making it easier to slice and enjoy.

Serving and Storing Chicken Bacon Ranch Stromboli

Serve your Chicken Bacon Ranch Stromboli warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. It pairs perfectly with a side salad or your favorite dipping sauce, such as extra ranch or marinara. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, and can be reheated in the oven or microwave for a quick and satisfying meal.
