How to make chicken bacon ranch Stromboli:
First shred or chop 2 cups of rotisserie chicken and set aside. If you already have some leftover chicken from last nights dinner this is also a good way to incorporate it into a new dish.
Also dice a half package of bacon and fry until crispy. Place the bacon on paper towels over a plate to soak up the excess grease.
I like to use the pre-made pizza crust in a can or if you can find it, get the already made pizza dough from the bakery and roll it out.
Place the pizza dough on a 9 x 11 baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Then start adding your filling.
I brush on a nice layer of ranch dressing, with some minced garlic on top of that. Make sure to leave a 1 inch border around the edges.
Then I add a layer of chicken, crispy bacon and shredded mozzarella cheese.
Add a little melted butter to the edges of the dough and roll into a log leaving the seam on the bottom. Also tuck the ends underneath. Then score the top of the dough every few inches with a knife and brush on some melted butter mixed with garlic paste and chopped parsley.
I place the Stromboli on the baking sheet right into my pellet smoker at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes or until the dough is deep golden brown and cooked through. You can do this in your oven as well with the same settings. Check it after 15 minutes and continue to monitor until cooked through.
Serving the Stromboli
Once the Stromboli is done cooking, I allow it to cool down for a few minutes and then cut 1-2 inch thick pieces to serve. Its great with some homemade ranch or marinara to dip in. Hope you enjoy!

Made this for my family and it was a hit! I didn’t add as much garlic as the recipe called for and it was perfect.
