Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup of cooked ham, diced
- 1 cup of Swiss cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 package of pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken strips, season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until no longer pink. Remove from heat and chop into small pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, combine chopped chicken, diced ham, and shredded Swiss cheese. Mix well and adjust seasoning if needed.
- If using store-bought pizza dough, let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. If making your own, roll it out to about 1/4 inch thick.
- Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Spread the chicken, ham, and cheese filling evenly over the dough, leaving about an inch of space around the edges.
- Roll the dough tightly from one long edge, tucking in the sides as you go to seal the filling inside.
- Pinch the seams to seal and tuck the ends under for a neat shape. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Brush the top with the beaten egg and make a few diagonal slits on top for steam to escape.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and puffed up.
- Let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing into thick pieces.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite ingredients or spices.
- Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
