Instructions:
-
Begin by dissolving one pack of active dry yeast in 4 tablespoons of warm (not hot) water. Allow it to proof for 10 minutes, creating a foamy mixture.
-
In another cup, combine 12 tablespoons of cold water, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of honey.
-
Add the wet ingredients to 3 cups of all-purpose flour and mix well. You can use your hands or a food processor for this step. Allow the dough to rise; overnight in the refrigerator is ideal, or at least 2 hours at room temperature.
-
While the dough rises, sauté finely chopped onions in a little olive oil until they become vaguely transparent. Add diced chicken and cook until it reaches a safe internal temperature, ensuring it’s no longer pink inside.
-
Add green peppers in the last minutes of cooking, warming them through to maintain a delightful crunch.
-
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface, shaping it to the size of a pizza pan. Place the dough on a nonstick pizza pan or a greased cookie sheet.
-
Layer one half of the dough with the sautéed chicken, tomatoes, onions, and green peppers. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the ingredients.
-
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and seal the edges. Use a fork to crimp the edges if needed.
-
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the stuffed stromboli on a greased cookie sheet.
-
For an appealing finish, coat the stromboli with an egg wash and sprinkle oregano and pretzel or kosher salt. The egg wash ensures a beautiful golden-brown crust.
-
Cooking time may vary, so keep a close eye on it. Check after about 12 minutes, and when the bottom is golden brown, your Jenny’s Chicken Stuffed Stromboli is ready to be savored.
