BBQ Chicken Stromboli
This BBQ Chicken Stromboli is a mouth-watering party appetizer, easy dinner or lunch using refrigerated pizza dough that’s loaded with sweet and tangy BBQ sauce, shredded rotisserie chicken, various cheeses and Italian seasoning.
The dough is then rolled up, sealed and baked to a golden hue. Slice the stromboli and watch the melted cheese and chicken filling ooze out, begging to be enjoyed straight away!
Recipe Notes:
- I recommend a slightly sweeter bbq sauce to compliment the chicken and the 4 different cheeses. Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce is a good sauce to use.
- If you want to add a bit of a kick to the Pepper Jack cheese I’ve used, add a few red pepper flakes to the filling. Provolone cheese also has a really good flavor for Stromboli. To make it more kid-friendly, swap out the Pepper Jack for a milder cheese.
- Instead of rotisserie chicken, baked chicken thighs and breasts are a good substitute.
- When shredding the rotisserie chicken let it cool sufficiently before handling. However, do not let it become cold as warm chicken is so much easier to debone and shred.
- When assembling the ingredients on the rolled out dough, make sure that you leave an inch of space on the edges to be able to close the stromboli.
- Brush the stromboli with melted butter if you do not want to use egg. Butter works just as well.
- Serve this BBQ chicken stromboli with a side salad and dip the slices in a delicious sauce or dressing such as ranch dressing or BBQ sauce.
Absolutely! You can fully assemble this stromboli 24 hours ahead of baking and store it in the refrigerator, wrapped tightly with plastic wrap.
