What’s in Chicken Bacon Ranch Stromboli?
With just eight simple ingredients, this meal comes together with little effort. Grab some pizza dough; you probably have the rest in your kitchen! Scroll to the bottom of the post, where you will find exact measurements in the recipe card.

- Bacon: Adds a smoky, savory crunch to every bite.
- Ranch Dressing: Creamy and tangy, it ties all the flavors together and doubles as a dip.

- Fresh Parsley: For garnish.
How to Make Chicken Bacon Ranch Stromboli
Just like my pepperoni pizza stromboli, this chicken bacon ranch stromboli recipe is truly amazing! It’s so quick and easy to make, which is great because your family will request it all the time. Get ready for a crowd-pleasing favorite!
- Prep: Preheat the oven to 375ºF, then roll the dough out and stretch it out on a piece of parchment paper placed on a baking sheet. Spread the cheese evenly right down the center of the dough. Leave about an inch on either end and a third of the dough empty on either side.
- Add the Filling: Top the cheese with the chicken, bacon, and ranch dressing.
- Roll: Roll up the dough by folding over one empty side, then roll it tightly like a cinnamon roll.
- Seal: Pinch the seams and the ends together really well.
- Egg Wash: In a small bowl, use a fork to combine the egg and a tablespoon or two of water to make an egg wash.
- Bake: Carefully roll over the dough so it is seam side down on the sheet pan, then brush the egg wash over the top of it. Sprinkle the top with the ranch seasoning and fresh parsley, and cut a few slits across the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top. Serve with extra ranch dressing for dipping, if desired.
Stromboli Tips and Variations
Here are some simple tips for best results and ways to mix things up. I love recipes that I can change to meet my family’s tastes.
- Don’t over stuff your stromboli! I tried this recipe using 2 cups of chicken and 2 cups of cheese, and it ended up being too much. If you want to add additional ingredients, remove some that are already included to avoid the stromboli bursting.
- Try changing up the flavor profile! You can swap out the ranch dressing for Caesar dressing instead, which makes it a great copycat for Costco’s chicken bake! You can also try making it an Alfredo stromboli by using alfredo sauce and some parmesan for the mozzarella. Swap the ranch powder on the outside for Italian seasoning on either of these variations.
- Use Any Cooked Chicken: I love using rotisserie chicken for the shredded chicken, but you can use any cooked chicken (or even turkey!) that you have available. It can be shredded or chopped.
- Bacon Options: I used precooked bacon that just needed to be crisped in the microwave, but you can cook up your own bacon, or you can use bacon bits.
- Pinch the seams well! This will help prevent the yummy filling from spilling out split seams as it bakes.
How to Store Leftovers
I did not have any leftovers of this when I made it for my family. If you do, here is what you need to know.
- Fridge: Store leftover chicken bacon ranch stromboli in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- To Reheat: Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 30-60 seconds.
- Making Ahead: I don’t recommend preparing this in advance, as the pizza dough can overproof if it sits at room temp or in the fridge for too long. It’s best baked and served right after it is assembled.
