Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup pesto
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 loaf of store-bought pizza dough or bread dough
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with pesto, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle.
  6. Spread the pesto chicken mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.
  7. Sprinkle the cheese mixture over the chicken.
  8. Roll up the dough tightly from the long side.
  9. Cut the rolled dough into 1-inch thick slices.
  10. Arrange the slices cut-side up in a greased baking dish or circular pan, pushing them close together.
  11. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  12. Let it cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • You can marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes for more flavor.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients like sun-dried tomatoes or chopped spinach.
  • Serve warm for the best experience.
