Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Two 8-ounce packages fresh mozzarella
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups fresh baby spinach
1/2 pound sweet Italian sausage, removed from its casing, cooked and cooled
1/2 cup julienned oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
One 15.5-ounce can pizza sauce
Grated Parmesan, for garnish
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the top third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Lay a chicken breast on a cutting board with the tapered end pointing at you. Using a sharp knife held horizontally to your work surface, begin slicing the chicken breast in half, starting at the thicker end of the breast and slowly working towards you, leaving an outer edge connected so you can open it like a book. Butterfly all the breasts in this manner and set in the fridge until ready to roll.
  • Cut six 1/4-inch-thick slices from the mozzarella, then finely chop the rest.
  • To build the pizza rolls: Open the butterflied chicken breasts so they lay flat on your cutting board. Sprinkle the chicken evenly with salt and pepper. Top with some spinach leaves, sausage, sun-dried tomatoes and chopped mozzarella. Roll the chicken around the filling and tuck into itself so that the seam is facing down. Place the rolled chicken in the prepared baking dish, seam-side down. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining chicken and fillings.
  • Bake the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 20 to 25 minutes. Meanwhile, heat up the pizza sauce. About 3 minutes before the chicken is done, top each piece with a slice of mozzarella.
  • Spoon the warm pizza sauce over the chicken and garnish with the Parmesan and basil.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 roll refrigerated pizza dough
1 pkg hidden valley ranch dressing mix
2 Tbsp parmesan cheese, grated
1 Tbsp olive oil or melted butter
sharp cheddar cheese (as needed)
mozzarella cheese (as needed)
8 slice bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 c chicken, cooked & shredded
3/4 c mayo
3/4 c milk

Steps:

  • 1. First take 1 teaspoon of your ranch dressing mix and combine it with 1 1/2 T parmesan cheese. Set aside. Combine the remaining ranch mix with 3/4 C mayo and 3/4 C milk and place in the fridge to chill.
  • 2. Preheat oven to heat specified on pizza dough package. Usually it's 400-425 degrees.
  • 3. Unroll your pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat or roll the dough so it's about 12? by 8?. You're going to want to cut it into 24 squares, so just eyeball it if you need to. Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into 24 squares. Place cheese and desired toppings on each square.
  • 4. When all of your dough squares have cheese and toppings on them, carefully lift up each square and wrap the dough around the toppings.
  • 5. I grab the four corners first and then squeeze the seams shut. Then place them seam side down in a lightly sprayed pie pan (or similar sized dish). Brush with melted butter or olive oil and sprinkle with the parmesan-ranch mixture.
  • 6. Place your rolls in the oven. I've noticed baking time really depends on the type of dough I'm using. Whether it's different brands from the store, or homemade dough, they all take different amounts of time. Set your timer for 10 minutes and check on them after that. They may take up to 15 or 20 to be done. Take them out when they're lightly golden on top. Serve them warm with a side of freshly made ranch dressing for dipping. ENJOY!!!

Tips:

  • Use a meat mallet to tenderize the chicken breasts, ensuring even cooking and a juicy texture.
  • To create a flavorful filling, mix cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, and herbs, and season generously.
  • To prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking, carefully seal the chicken breasts with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
  • For a crispy crust, coat the chicken breasts in a mixture of flour, paprika, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning before pan-frying.
  • Bake the chicken breasts in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Serve the pizza-stuffed chicken breasts hot, topped with additional pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and basil leaves for an authentic pizza experience.
