Homemade Costco Chicken Bake
This Costco Chicken Bake is even better than the original! Made with chicken, bacon, cheese, and Caesar dressing, then baked until golden.
Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough room temperature
- 1/2 cup creamy Caesar dressing
- 2 cups diced cooked chicken
- 1 cup cooked crumbled bacon
- 1/2 cup sliced green onions about 4–5 onions
- 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese about 1 cup
- 4 ounces shredded provolone cheese about 1 cup
- 4 ounces shredded parmesan cheese about 1 cup, divided
- 1 large egg beaten
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a 13 x 18-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken, crumbled bacon, sliced green onions, Caesar dressing, mozzarella cheese, provolone cheese, and 1/2 cup of the shredded parmesan cheese. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
- Prepare the Dough: Lightly flour a work surface and divide the pizza dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 6 x 8-inch rectangle, ensuring the dough is not too thin to prevent tearing.
- Fill & Roll: Evenly spread 1/4 of the filling mixture over each piece of rolled-out dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Starting from one of the longer sides, carefully roll each piece into a log, enclosing the filling. Pinch the edges and seams tightly to seal.
- Egg Wash & Topping: Place each rolled log seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the surface of each roll with beaten egg. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded parmesan cheese evenly over the tops.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Cool & Serve: Let the chicken bakes cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
Make-Ahead Tips: The filling mixture can be prepped up to 24 hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Pizza dough is easiest to roll at room temperature, so let it sit out for 15–20 minutes before rolling.
Storage: Store leftover chicken bakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Let them cool completely before storing to prevent condensation.
Freezing: Wrap cooled chicken bakes individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place them in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheating: From Refrigerated: Bake at 350°F for 10–12 minutes until warmed through. From Frozen: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes, covering with foil for the first 10 minutes to prevent over-browning.
Dough Rolling Tip: If the dough springs back while rolling, let it rest for 5 minutes, then try again.
