Perfectly baked to crispy perfection, this savory strudel is an easy-to-make comfort food favorite that can be served warm as a hearty snack or meal.

Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 pound prepared pizza dough

Filling

  • 3 boneless, skinless cooked chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or provolone cheese), plus extra for topping
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, plus extra for topping
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Optional: ½ teaspoon smoked paprika for a subtle smoky flavor
  • 1½ cups creamy Caesar dressing

Topping

  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, mix the cubed cooked chicken, shredded mozzarella, shredded Parmesan, and thinly sliced green onions. Season the mixture with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika if using. Pour in the creamy Caesar dressing and stir thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly.
  3. Prepare the dough: If the pizza dough is chilled, allow it to come to room temperature for about 15 minutes to make it easier to work with. Divide the dough into three equal portions.
  4. Shape the dough: Roll each portion into a rectangle approximately 10 by 6 inches in size, creating the base for your chicken bake rolls.
  5. Fill and roll: Spread one-third of the chicken and cheese filling along one short edge of each dough rectangle, leaving a clean border around the edges. Roll the dough tightly starting from the filled edge to encase the filling fully. Pinch the seam closed and tuck the ends underneath to securely seal the rolls.
  6. Prepare for baking: Place the sealed chicken bakes seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops generously with the beaten egg to help achieve a glossy, golden crust. Sprinkle additional mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses on top for extra cheesiness.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the chicken bakes for 20–25 minutes or until they are beautifully golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
  8. Serve: Remove from the oven and let the chicken bakes cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Slice and serve warm, enjoying the creamy, cheesy filling wrapped in a crispy crust.

Notes

  • You can substitute provolone for mozzarella according to preference for a slightly different cheese flavor.
  • If your Caesar dressing already contains anchovies and Parmesan, taste the filling mixture before adding the full amount of salt and adjust accordingly to avoid oversalting.
  • Letting the dough sit at room temperature before rolling makes it much easier to handle and shape.
  • For an extra smoky flavor, include the optional smoked paprika in the filling mix.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and aid in cleanup.
  • Allow the baked rolls to rest briefly so the filling sets and is less likely to spill out when sliced.
