Prepare all of the ingredients: Chop the peppers and onions, shred the cheese, measure the oil and salsa verde and bring the pizza dough to room temperature.

Step 1. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium to high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the bell peppers and onions and cook them for a few minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 2. Add the chicken to the pan and cook it with the peppers and onions until the chicken is cooked through which will take about 8 to 10 minutes.

Step 3. Stir in the salsa verde and remove the mixture from the heat.

Step 4. Roll out the dough into a circle that is about 8 to 9 inches in diameter.

Step 5. Spread the chicken mixture over the top of the dough and add the cheese.

Tip! Arrange the rolled dough on top of the baking sheet so that you don’t have to transfer it to a baking sheet once it’s been rolled.

Step 6. Fold three ends of the stromboli in

Step 8. Carefully roll up the stromboli from the bottom while making sure the sides stay tucked in.

Step 9. Once the stromboli has been rolled, press the end of the dough into the stromboli to seal it up. Place it into the oven and bake at 375 for 20 minutes.

Ground Chicken Breast is the easiest to use in this recipe because it cooks quickly. Shredded chicken breast or chopped leftover chicken breast will work too.

Substitutes for chicken: ground turkey breast, ground pork or lean ground beef.

Pepper jack cheese is similar to mozzarella in texture and melts nicely in this recipe.

Substitutes for pepper jack cheese: cheddar, mozzarella, monterey jack cheese.

Pizza dough. I use homemade pizza dough, but you can use your favorite packaged one as well. Here is my recipe for homemade whole wheat pizza dough.

This chicken stromboli can easily be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for one day.

The filling can also be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for two to three days. When it’s time to serve roll out the dough and assemble the stromboli and bake it.

To bake the premade stromboli, remove it from the refrigerator 15 minutes before baking it. Then place it in a preheated oven and bake it for 20 minutes.

Serve salsa verde chicken stromboli as an appetizer with as side of salsa verde and homemade guacamole.

If you are serving your chicken stromboli as a meal, serve it with a salad.

Store leftover chicken stromboli in the refrigerator for three to four days.

Reheat it in the oven at 350 unitl it’s heated through or in the microwave.

Change up your chicken stromboli and serve it as a flatbread. Roll out the dough and top the dough with the chicken filling and cheese and bake in the oven at 400.

Make it spicy, add a chopped jalapeno pepper to the filling mix for a spicier stromboli.
