Why You’ll Love Costco Chicken Bakes Recipe

I like this recipe because it is filling, flavorful, and surprisingly easy to make. I enjoy how everything comes together in one neat wrap, and I appreciate how flexible it is when I want to adjust flavors or scale it up. It always feels like a satisfying homemade comfort food.

Ingredients

(Note: All ingredient amounts are listed in the recipe card below.)

½ Cup Pizza Dough (or the dough for 4.5 Rhodes Rolls)
¾ Cups Grilled, Seasoned, & Chopped Boneless Chicken Breast
⅓ Cup Mozzarella/Provolone Blend Shredded Cheese
2 Tablespoons + 1 teaspoon Smoked Turkey Crumbles
¼ Cup Green Onion (washed and chopped)
2 Tablespoons Caesar Dressing (plus a little more for marinating chicken)
2 & ½ Tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese

Directions

I begin by marinating the grilled and chopped chicken breast with a small amount of Caesar dressing, mixing it well and refrigerating it until assembly time. I preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

On a lightly floured surface, I roll or press the dough into a large rectangle. I brush Caesar dressing evenly over the dough, then layer on the marinated chicken, mozzarella and provolone cheese, green onions, and smoked turkey crumbles.

I wrap the dough around the filling like a burrito and place it seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. I brush the top with additional Caesar dressing and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over it. I bake it for 15 to 18 minutes, until the dough is puffed and golden brown. I let it cool slightly before serving.

Servings and Timing

I make one chicken bake with this recipe. The preparation takes about 15 minutes, baking takes around 18 minutes, and the total time is approximately 33 minutes.

Variations

I sometimes add extra cheese when I want a richer filling. I also like sprinkling a bit of garlic powder or black pepper inside for added depth. When I want a heartier bite, I increase the amount of smoked turkey crumbles slightly.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, I place the chicken bake in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until heated through, which keeps the dough crisp and satisfying.
