🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, about half of the grated Parmesan cheese, ricotta cheese, and Italian seasoning. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
- Lightly flour a clean work surface. Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick. If you're using store-bought dough, simply unroll it.
- Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border along the edges. Don't overdo it with the sauce, or the rolls might get soggy!
- Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
- Carefully spread the chicken mixture over the mozzarella cheese. Try to distribute it evenly so each roll gets a good amount of filling.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the chicken mixture.
- Starting from one long side, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Make sure it's nice and snug to prevent the filling from spilling out during baking.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the log into 1-inch thick rolls. Arrange the rolls, cut-side up, on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on them – ovens vary, and you don't want them to burn!
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the rolls cool for a few minutes before serving. Sprinkle with fresh parsley (if using) for a pop of color and flavor. Serve warm and enjoy the deliciousness!
📝 Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken mixture.
- Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
- Feel free to substitute the chicken with cooked sausage or ground beef.
- Make sure the chicken is cooked thoroughly before adding it to the pizza rolls.
