Cheesy Chicken And Spinach Stromboli Ring Recipes

EASY CHEESY CHICKEN STROMBOLI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Lightly flour your work surface then roll out the pizza dough to a rectangle measuring 11x13 inches.
• In a small bowl mix together the shredded chicken with the Parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup of the marinara sauce. (Reserve the remaining 1/2 cup of marinara sauce for dipping.)
• Position the dough so the longer side is closest to you then arrange the chicken mixture in the center of the dough. Top the chicken with the sliced mozzarella and then the basil leaves.
• Beginning 1 inch from the top of the dough, cut 1/2-inch slits from the center of the dough outward toward the edges. Fold the top portion of the dough over then alternately braid the strips across the center. Cut off any excess dough then tuck the two end pieces underneath the stromboli. Transfer the stromboli to the baking sheet. (See Kelly's Notes.)
• Brush the top of the stromboli with the olive oil, sprinkle it with additional Parmesan cheese then bake it for 25 to 30 minutes until it's golden brown and the cheese is melted. Remove the stromboli from the oven, transfer it to a rack and let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve.

CHEESY CHICKEN AND SPINACH STROMBOLI RING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a bit of oil
• Add the minced garlic and spinach to the pan, cooking until the spinach has wilted
• Place a small dipping bowl in the center of a piece of parchment paper and use this as a guide to lay out your crescent rolls with the large sides almost touching the bowl (the ends overlap all the way around with two layers)
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ricotta and mozzarella cheeses
• Then add the spinach and shredded chicken to the cheese mixture
• Sprinkle with pepper
• Spread the cheese and chicken mixture around the widest part of the crescent roll ring
• Carefully fold the crescent triangles over the cheese and chicken mixture and tuck them under the ring as you go
• Bake for about 18-20 minutes, until the crescent rolls get a golden brown color
• Fill your small bowl with marinara sauce to dip and place it in the center of the ring for serving

SPINACH & CHEESE STROMBOLI

Steps:

• 1. place pizza dough on a floured surface and cover with dish towel until thawed and rises.
• 2. Place oil in sauté pan and lightly cook garlic. Add spinach and sauté with garlic and oil. Add salt and pepper. Salt will get water out of spinach. Remove when most juice is cooked out and let cool.
• 3. Preheat Oven to 400. In large bowl mix together ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese. Then add spinach mixture. Mix well.
• 4. Roll out pizza dough on a floured surface. Make a rectangle as best you can. Put filling near end and slowly roll tucking in sides. Place in a greased pan or foil for easy clean up.
• 5. After rolling the Stromboli, brush with olive oil. Add any seasoning you would like. You can also add sesame seeds. I sprinkled garlic powder, oregano and some Parmesan cheese. Make slits with knife to allow steam to escape during cooking.
• 6. Finally, place in 400 degree oven for about 30 minutes until brown. Let cool then slice and serve with warm marinara sauce. Bon appetite!
