Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the dough bakes evenly and the filling heats through.

Prepare the Filling:

In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.

Tip: Use freshly shredded cheese for the best melting consistency and flavor.

Roll Out the Dough:

On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle. This shape helps with even distribution of the filling.

Add the Filling:

Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. This border makes it easier to seal the dough when rolling.

Roll the Dough:

Carefully roll the dough from one end to the other to form a log shape. Pinch the ends and edges to seal, ensuring the filling stays inside.

Tip: Roll tightly to prevent the filling from spilling out during baking.

Prepare for Baking:

Place the Stromboli seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the top with olive oil for a golden, crispy crust.

Using a sharp knife, make small diagonal slits on top of the dough to allow steam to escape as it bakes.

Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.

Tip: Check the bottom of the Stromboli to ensure it’s fully cooked and not doughy.

Serve:

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
