Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 refrigerated pizza crust
- 2 cups (450 grams) shredded chicken or 12 ounces (340 grams) canned chicken
- 1 1/2 cups (170 grams) shredded mozzarella cheese, plus more for topping
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) BBQ sauce
- 1/3 cup (50 grams) diced red onion
Preparation Tools:
- Cooking spray or parchment paper
Instructions
- Unroll pizza dough on a clean surface and generously coat with tangy BBQ sauce, ensuring even coverage across the entire surface.
- Distribute shredded chicken, diced onions, and mozzarella cheese uniformly over the sauce-covered dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Carefully roll the dough from the long side, creating a tight cylindrical shape, applying gentle pressure to secure the filling inside.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled dough into uniform 2-inch thick rounds, revealing the colorful layered interior.
- For air fryer preparation, line the basket with parchment paper and arrange the roll-ups without overcrowding, maintaining space between each piece.
- Cook in the air fryer at 375°F for 6 minutes, then sprinkle additional cheese on top and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes until cheese melts and edges turn golden.
- Alternatively, for oven method, place roll-ups on a lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 15-16 minutes, watching for a crispy, light brown exterior.
- Allow roll-ups to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving to let the filling set and prevent burning.
Notes
- Customize sauce intensity by mixing different BBQ sauces for unique flavor profiles.
- Shred rotisserie chicken for faster preparation and more tender meat texture.
- Use low-fat cheese or dairy-free alternatives to make recipe more diet-friendly.
- Prep roll-ups ahead and refrigerate for quick weeknight meal or party appetizer.
