Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 red onion, julienned
  • 2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce

Dough and Cheese

  • 1 pizza dough
  • 6 slices provolone cheese

Topping and Seasoning

  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp Parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is ready to bake the stromboli evenly.
  2. Sauté onions: In a small skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the julienned red onions and sauté until they become tender and aromatic, then remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Prepare dough base: Roll out the pizza dough on a sheet of parchment paper into a rectangular shape to create the base for the stromboli.
  4. Layer cheese: Place the 6 slices of provolone cheese down the center of the rolled out dough, creating a base layer for the filling.
  5. Mix filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken, sautéed onions, and BBQ sauce. Mix thoroughly so the chicken is evenly coated with sauce and onions.
  6. Assemble stromboli: Spoon the BBQ chicken mixture evenly over the provolone cheese on the dough.
  7. Roll the dough: Starting from one end, roll the dough tightly like a jelly roll, using the parchment paper to help guide and keep it tight. Place the roll seam-side down on a baking sheet in the center.
  8. Seal and season: Tuck and seal the ends underneath to prevent the filling from spilling out. Brush the entire top surface with the beaten egg, then sprinkle Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan cheese on top for extra flavor and a golden finish.
  9. Vent dough: Use a knife to make several diagonal slashes or vents on the top of the stromboli to allow steam to escape during baking.
  10. Bake: Place the stromboli in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.
  11. Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm with additional BBQ sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • You can substitute rotisserie chicken with cooked chicken breast or thighs for freshness.
  • For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the BBQ chicken mixture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
  • Ensure the dough is sealed tightly to avoid leaks during baking.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make rolling easier.
