Chicken Bakes

 

 

 

 

 

I took quite a few shortcuts with this recipe… who has time to chop and dice and knead dough? Not me. Call it lazy or call it smart…either way, you get the best homemade chicken bakes you’ve ever tasted. Kind of like Costco Chicken Bakes, only better.

Chicken Bakes

¾ cups Tyson’s Oven Roasted Diced Chicken Breast

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for sprinkling

5 Rhodes frozen dough for dinner rolls*, thawed

1/4 cup Caesar dressing

2 cups shredded mozzarella, plus more for sprinkling

½ cup frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

1 egg + 1 tablespoon water for egg wash

 

 

 

If using frozen dough, set out to thaw one hour prior to starting recipe.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

 

Use a floured surface and roll out or press dough into a 7 x 5-inch rectangle, or as close as you can get. It will be easier to stretch it out once it has ingredients on top of it.  

 Brush Caesar dressing on dough and sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Add chicken pieces on top leaving a 5 inch border. Cover chicken with mozzarella cheese. Spoon chopped spinach on top of cheese.

Pull the 5-inch border around dough up and over the ingredients and pinch together at seam. Do not fold the ends in.  The finished roll should be 11 x 2 inches.

 

Transfer logs to the prepared baking sheet. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with more Parmesan and mozzarella cheese and Italian seasoning. Bake until golden and the dough is cooked through, about 20-25 minutes. Slice and serve warm.

NOTES:   

You can also use pizza dough in a can….the kind you pop on the counter to open.

You can also use a rotisserie chicken and cut up your breast pieces.

You can also add a ¼ cup of chopped bacon to the recipe.
