Ingredients:
- 1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 1/2 cup Alfredo sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: Sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or onions for additional filling
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, about 12×16 inches.
- Assemble the stromboli: Spread the Alfredo sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken over the sauce, then sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. If adding extra fillings like spinach or mushrooms, distribute them evenly as well. Sprinkle with garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
- Roll the stromboli: Starting from one of the long edges, carefully roll the dough into a tight log, tucking in the sides as you go. Place the stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush with egg wash: Brush the top and sides of the stromboli with the beaten egg. This will give it a nice golden-brown color when baked.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the stromboli is golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
- Serve: Allow the stromboli to cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with extra Alfredo sauce or marinara on the side for dipping.
Chicken Alfredo Stromboli is a flavorful and satisfying dish that combines the best of cheesy, creamy Alfredo sauce with the convenience of a hand-held stromboli. It’s a versatile and crowd-pleasing option for any meal!
