Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the top third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Lay a chicken breast on a cutting board with the tapered end pointing at you. Using a sharp knife held horizontally to your work surface, begin slicing the chicken breast in half, starting at the thicker end of the breast and slowly working towards you, leaving an outer edge connected so you can open it like a book. Butterfly all the breasts in this manner and set in the fridge until ready to roll.
- Cut six 1/4-inch-thick slices from the mozzarella, then finely chop the rest.
- To build the pizza rolls: Open the butterflied chicken breasts so they lay flat on your cutting board. Sprinkle the chicken evenly with salt and pepper. Top with some spinach leaves, sausage, sun-dried tomatoes and chopped mozzarella. Roll the chicken around the filling and tuck into itself so that the seam is facing down. Place the rolled chicken in the prepared baking dish, seam-side down. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining chicken and fillings.
- Bake the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 20 to 25 minutes. Meanwhile, heat up the pizza sauce. About 3 minutes before the chicken is done, top each piece with a slice of mozzarella.
- Spoon the warm pizza sauce over the chicken and garnish with the Parmesan and basil.

Steps:
- 1. First take 1 teaspoon of your ranch dressing mix and combine it with 1 1/2 T parmesan cheese. Set aside. Combine the remaining ranch mix with 3/4 C mayo and 3/4 C milk and place in the fridge to chill.
- 2. Preheat oven to heat specified on pizza dough package. Usually it's 400-425 degrees.
- 3. Unroll your pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat or roll the dough so it's about 12? by 8?. You're going to want to cut it into 24 squares, so just eyeball it if you need to. Use a pizza cutter to slice the dough into 24 squares. Place cheese and desired toppings on each square.
- 4. When all of your dough squares have cheese and toppings on them, carefully lift up each square and wrap the dough around the toppings.
- 5. I grab the four corners first and then squeeze the seams shut. Then place them seam side down in a lightly sprayed pie pan (or similar sized dish). Brush with melted butter or olive oil and sprinkle with the parmesan-ranch mixture.
- 6. Place your rolls in the oven. I've noticed baking time really depends on the type of dough I'm using. Whether it's different brands from the store, or homemade dough, they all take different amounts of time. Set your timer for 10 minutes and check on them after that. They may take up to 15 or 20 to be done. Take them out when they're lightly golden on top. Serve them warm with a side of freshly made ranch dressing for dipping. ENJOY!!!
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken breasts: Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
- Pound the chicken breasts thin: This will help them cook more quickly and evenly. You can use a meat mallet or rolling pin to do this.
- Use a flavorful filling: The filling is what will really make your pizza-stuffed chicken special. Get creative and use your favorite pizza toppings, such as pepperoni, sausage, cheese, and vegetables.
- Don't overstuff the chicken breasts: You want to be able to roll them up tightly without them bursting. If you overstuff them, they will be difficult to cook and the filling will ooze out.
- Cook the chicken breasts until they are cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can use a meat thermometer to check this.
Conclusion:
Pizza-stuffed chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a great way to use up leftover pizza toppings, and it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. With a little creativity, you can create your own unique pizza-stuffed chicken recipe that is sure to impress.
