Of course I forgot to take a picture :)
On Friday night, I was organizing my fridge a bit while waiting for Scott to come over. I came upon a bit of leftover roast chicken breast, I still had a bunch of bacon hanging around, I had a little Cheddar Jack cheese leftover and a ball of whole wheat pizza dough that needed to be used sooner rather than later. The chicken and bacon stromboli was born!
This is a ridiculously easy and satisfying option for dinner! It took care of a lot of leftovers that might have gone to waste and it was so tasty! And I was able to prep it ahead - Scott doesn't get out of work until fairly late on Friday nights and then he likes to head to his place for a shower and to spend some time with his cats. While he was giving some love to the kittehs, I put the whole thing together and there it was, all set on its baking tray, ready to go as soon as we wanted dinner!
The premade whole wheat dough at my local grocery store is fantastic and was on crazy-sale last week ... there happen to be 3 balls lying in wait in my freezer and since the warm weather is coming (along with my refusal to use the oven in an already hellaciously hot apartment), looks like I am going to have to make them sooner rather than later! :) I have made my own (very tasty!) pizza dough in the past, but sometimes it's worth it to buy pre-made - no shame in a shortcut!

We love stromboli but I've only ever made it using Pilsbury French bread dough. Frozen pizza dough - now THERE'S an idea I can get behind!
ReplyDeleteSo, did you cook the bacon first?
Yes - bacon was cooked first! I usually bake it in a 450 oven for about 20 minutes until browned! Funny you bring this up - the night before last I made a sausage and peppers version of this - 3 (cooked) Italian sausages sliced into rounds and some frozen pepper strips that had been lightly sauteed on the stove to get the moisture out. We didn't even add cheese and it was WONDERFUL!
