This Buffalo Chicken Bread doesn’t quite qualify as a stromboli (I don’t think), but it is meat and cheese rolled up in pizza dough. So, it’s close. Some refer to it as buffalo chicken garbage bread.

This recipe combines my love for bread with my love of Buffalo Chicken Dip.

Tools you’ll need

Ingredients

Below is a list of the ingredients you’ll need to gather to make this recipe, why you need them, and possible substitutions. Scroll all the way down for the full recipe card with measurements.

  • Chicken – I use 1 lb of boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Tenders will work fine, too.
  • Pizza Dough – To keep things extra easy, I opt for a Pillsbury Classic Pizza Dough or Trader Joe’s makes a really good one. Or you can learn how to make pizza dough from scratch.
  • Olive Oil – Use a light extra virgin olive oil.
  • Frank’s Wing Sauce – I prefer WING sauce over traditional hot sauce. Use your favorite.
  • Ranch Dressing – I usually have Hidden Valley on hand.
  • Mozzarella Cheese – Shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Cheddar Cheese – Shredded cheddar cheese – I usually have mild on hand.
  • Salt & Pepper – Always!
  • Garlic Salt – To top the bread.
  • Italian Cheese Blend – Shredded Italian Cheese blend to sprinkle on top.

HOW TO MAKE BUFFALO CHICKEN BREAD

This Buffalo chicken stuffed bread comes together quickly and I think looks pretty impressive. It would be easy to slice up and serve at a party. Or just eat for dinner, like me and Bob did.

Though not the most healthy thing I’ve ever made, it’s still healthier to make this at home, controlling the quality of your ingredients, than ordering something similar from a local pizza place. And it’s really good.

Let’s get started.

Spread out your pizza crust on a floured baking sheet (or use a Silpat, like I did) and roll it out, if needed, into a rectangle.

In a small bowl, combine wing sauce with ranch dressing and stir to combine.

Spread the sauce mixture over the pizza crust then spread the cooked chicken over the top.

Sprinkle with cheeses then fold the long edges over about 2 inches on each side, then, from the short side, start rolling until you reach the end.

Finish rolling, place seam side down, then sprinkle with cheeses.

Bake in the center of the oven for approximately 13 minutes. Keep an eye on yours after 10 minutes to see how it’s coming along, since oven cooking times can vary. Once it starts to get golden, it’s done.

Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes. Slice into pieces and enjoy! I dipped mine in a little bit of ranch dressing.

Ingredients
 

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 premade pizza dough
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup Frank’s WING sauce
  • cup ranch dressing
  • cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • salt & pepper and whatever else you season your chicken with – I used Montreal chicken seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic salt optional
  • sprinkle Italian cheese blend parmesan, romano, asiago, option

Instructions
 

  • Trim your chicken breasts and cut into thin pieces, keeping them similar in size. Season with salt, pepper, and Montreal chicken seasoning.
  • Place a frying pan over medium high heat and lightly coat with olive oil. Once hot, add in the seasoned chicken, cooking until no longer pink. Once fully cooked, add in ¼ cup wing sauce and toss the chicken to coat. Turn the heat down to low and let simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Spread out your pizza crust on a floured baking sheet (or use a Silpat, like I did) and roll it out, if needed, into a rectangle.
  • In a small bowl, combine the remaining ¼ cup of wing sauce with ⅓ cup of ranch dressing and stir to combine. Spread it evenly over the pizza crust.
  • Top the sauce with the prepared chicken. (I didn’t use quite all the chicken, the roll would have been too full, so I left a little bit out & ate it separately).
  • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella & cheddar cheeses evenly over the chicken.
  • Looking at your rectangle, fold the long edges over about 2 inches on each side, then, from the short side, start rolling until you reach the end.
  • Place your roll seam side won onto your prepared baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle the top with a little garlic salt and an Italian cheese blend.
  • Bake in the center of the oven for approximately 13 minutes, checking after 10 minutes. Once it’s golden, it’s done.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before slicing into pieces. Enjoy!
