Ingredients
- 2 cups (300g) cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie or leftover roasted chicken preferred)
- 1 packet (about 1 oz / 28g) ranch seasoning mix
- 1 ½ cups (150g) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 package (about 13 oz / 370g) pizza dough (store-bought, fresh or thawed frozen)
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) hot sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a medium bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken, ranch seasoning mix, and hot sauce. Stir until well coated.
- Fold in shredded mozzarella cheese to the chicken mixture.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a roughly 12×10 inch rectangle. Dust with flour if sticky.
- Evenly spread the chicken mixture over the dough, leaving about ½ inch border on all sides.
- Starting from the longer edge, roll the dough into a tight log, ensuring it is snug but not squished.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the log into 12 equal pieces about 1 inch thick.
- Arrange the rolls cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown and cheese is bubbly. Optionally broil for 1-2 minutes for extra browning, watching closely.
- Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
If dough is sticky, dust with flour but avoid overdoing it to prevent toughness. Let rolls rest 5 minutes after baking to set filling. For extra crispiness, brush tops with olive oil or melted butter before baking. To add moisture to dry chicken, mix in a tablespoon of cream cheese or sour cream. Can freeze baked rolls for up to 2 months; reheat in oven for best texture. Variations include swapping cheeses, adding cayenne or jalapeños for heat, or using gluten-free dough.
