🔪 How to Make Chicken Parm Stromboli
Making this stromboli recipe is incredibly easy. It only takes a few simple steps and a little baking time. Even beginners can make this recipe, and the results are always fantastic.
Step 1: Bake the Chicken
Arrange the chicken strips on a baking sheet and spray them with nonstick cooking spray. Then, sprinkle them with half the Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes at 400 degrees until crispy. Remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Step 2: Top the Pizza Dough
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and unroll the pizza dough onto it. Then, cut the chicken into bite-size pieces and arrange them on half of the pizza dough. Top with pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese.
Step 3: Fold
Fold the other half of the dough over the toppings, stretching as needed to reach across to the other edge. Pinch the edges together to seal the dough.
Step 4: Season
Brush melted butter on top of the dough and top with the remaining Italian seasoning and garlic, and then sprinkle the parmesan cheese on top. Cut 4 to 5 small slits in the top to vent.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees until the crust is golden brown. Let the stromboli rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.
