This homemade version of the warehouse food-court favorite wraps a creamy filling of chicken, bacon, Caesar dressing and melted cheese in pizza dough. Each log bakes until golden, with a salty Parmesan crust on top. They make a fun weekend lunch or game-day dinner and are easy to wrap up for later.

Preparation Steps

1Step 1

Season the chicken with the salt, pepper and garlic powder. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes per side, until golden and the thickest part reaches 165°F (74°C). Let it rest for 5 minutes, then shred or chop it.

2Step 2

In a bowl, mix the chicken, bacon, Caesar dressing, Italian cheese and green onions until evenly combined.

3Step 3

Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

4Step 4

Dust the counter with the flour and roll the dough into a rectangle about 10 by 14 inches (25 by 35 cm). Let it rest for 10 minutes if it keeps shrinking back, then cut it into 4 equal pieces.

5Step 5

Spoon a quarter of the filling down the middle of each piece, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) clear around the edges. Roll each one up tightly into a log, pinch the seam closed and tuck the ends underneath.

6Step 6

Set the logs seam-side down on the baking sheet, brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle generously with the Parmesan.

7Step 7

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until deep golden and the bottoms sound hollow when tapped. Brush with the remaining olive oil and let them cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with extra Caesar dressing or marinara for dipping.

Tips & Variations

Use rotisserie chicken to save time; you will need about 4 cups of shredded meat.
Swap the Caesar dressing for ranch or pesto, or add chopped spinach to the filling.
Wrap cooled chicken bakes and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven until steaming hot in the center.
