Delicious Chicken Pizza Rolls Recipe
Ingredients:
– 1 pound pizza dough (fresh, frozen, or refrigerated, thawed)
– ½ cup sweet BBQ sauce, plus extra for serving
– 1 ¼ cups part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded, divided
– 1 cup cooked chicken, finely chopped (rotisserie, poached, etc.)
– 3 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
– ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
– 3 slices bacon, cooked crisp, drained and finely chopped (optional)
– Fresh parsley leaves, chopped for garnish
– 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, for greasing the pan, plus more for oiling the bowl
Directions:
1. Thaw the pizza dough according to package instructions if frozen. If using refrigerated dough, place it in a well-oiled bowl, cover, and allow it to come to room temperature, 1 to 2 hours.
2. Lightly oil a large 9 or 10-inch round skillet or baking pan. Set aside.
3. Preheat the oven to 400°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to an 18×10-inch rectangle. If the dough springs back, let it rest 5 more minutes, then roll again.
4. Spread BBQ sauce over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border. Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. Add the chicken, onion, red pepper flakes, and bacon.
5. Start rolling the dough tightly from the long side, pinching the seams to seal. Cut into 8 equal slices using dental floss for cleaner cuts.
6. Place the slices cut side down in the prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes. Top with the remaining cheese and bake for another 5 minutes until the cheese is melted.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with extra BBQ sauce for dipping.
