Barbeque Chicken and Bacon Stromboli

Thursday nights are date nights. They have been since 2009 when Boyfriend and I started dating. Thursdays are synonymous with wine, relaxation, weekend planning and not so healthy food. A few weeks ago I decided to try a stromboli at home (here's the recipe) that was savory and easy. The below did the trick!

Ingredients:

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and diced ( I used rotisserie chicken)
1 ½ cups BBQ sauce
4 slices smoked bacon, cooked crispy, drained and chopped
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
½ cup chopped green onions
1 can Pillsbury Pizza dough (not thin crust)
Olive oil cooking oil spray

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Line a baking pan with non-stick foil. Lightly spray the foil with the cooking oil spray and set aside.

In a medium bowl mix the diced chicken and BBQ sauce.

Take the pizza dough out of the can and unroll it on your prepared baking sheet.

Press the dough into a rectangle… do not make the dough too thin.

Put the BBQ chicken down the center of the dough from one sort end to the other.

Sprinkle the chopped bacon over the chicken, then sprinkle the cheddar cheese, then sprinkle the chopped green onion over the top.

Carefully pull the sides of the dough from the long side to the middle. (Don't break it like I did.) Pinch the dough closed.

Sprinkle the top with garlic powder and bake for 16 minutes or until light golden brown.

Allow to cool for about 5 minutes before cutting. (You can dip in more bbq sauce if you like!)
