Best Pizza Stuffed Chicken Recipes

PIZZA-STUFFED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the top third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Lay a chicken breast on a cutting board with the tapered end pointing at you. Using a sharp knife held horizontally to your work surface, begin slicing the chicken breast in half, starting at the thicker end of the breast and slowly working towards you, leaving an outer edge connected so you can open it like a book. Butterfly all the breasts in this manner and set in the fridge until ready to roll.
• Cut six 1/4-inch-thick slices from the mozzarella, then finely chop the rest.
• To build the pizza rolls: Open the butterflied chicken breasts so they lay flat on your cutting board. Sprinkle the chicken evenly with salt and pepper. Top with some spinach leaves, sausage, sun-dried tomatoes and chopped mozzarella. Roll the chicken around the filling and tuck into itself so that the seam is facing down. Place the rolled chicken in the prepared baking dish, seam-side down. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining chicken and fillings.
• Bake the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 20 to 25 minutes. Meanwhile, heat up the pizza sauce. About 3 minutes before the chicken is done, top each piece with a slice of mozzarella.
• Spoon the warm pizza sauce over the chicken and garnish with the Parmesan and basil.

AIR FRYER PIZZA-STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Cut a shallow slice lengthwise down each chicken breast. Fold chicken breasts in half and cut 2 more shallow slices horizontally. The pocket will resemble an upside down "T".
• Rub each chicken breast with 1 teaspoon oil and season with Italian seasoning and garlic salt.
• Stuff each chicken breast with 1/2 of the fresh mozzarella, pepperoni, onion, and pizza sauce. Transfer to the air fryer basket.
• Air fry until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 18 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

CHICKEN-BACON STUFFED PIZZA ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. First take 1 teaspoon of your ranch dressing mix and combine it with 1 1/2 T parmesan cheese. Set aside. Combine the remaining ranch mix with 3/4 C mayo and 3/4 C milk and place in the fridge to chill.
• 2. Preheat oven to heat specified on pizza dough package. Usually it's 400-425 degrees.
• 3. Unroll your pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat or roll the dough so it's about 12? by 8?. You're going to want to cut it into 24 squares, so just eyeball it if you need to. Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into 24 squares. Place cheese and desired toppings on each square.
• 4. When all of your dough squares have cheese and toppings on them, carefully lift up each square and wrap the dough around the toppings.
• 5. I grab the four corners first and then squeeze the seams shut. Then place them seam side down in a lightly sprayed pie pan (or similar sized dish). Brush with melted butter or olive oil and sprinkle with the parmesan-ranch mixture.
• 6. Place your rolls in the oven. I've noticed baking time really depends on the type of dough I'm using. Whether it's different brands from the store, or homemade dough, they all take different amounts of time. Set your timer for 10 minutes and check on them after that. They may take up to 15 or 20 to be done. Take them out when they're lightly golden on top. Serve them warm with a side of freshly made ranch dressing for dipping. ENJOY!!!
