Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a pie pan and set aside.

Roll out pizza dough on lightly floured surface, and pat to flatten evenly (the long sides should be horizontal). Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, make 2 slices to create 3 horizontal rows. Then make 5 slices to create 6 vertical rows (which will make 18 rectangles).*

Divide chicken and mozzarella evenly between dough rectangles, placing filling in the middle of each & being careful not to overstuff them (otherwise you won't be able to close them). Once the filling is in, then pull the sides of the dough into the middle, gathering and pinching together to seal it shut into a ball.

Place balls seam side down in greased pan. When all rolls are in pan, brush tops with about 1 T. of olive oil. Sprinkle with a little garlic powder & Italian seasoning, if desired.

Cook in pre-heated oven for 15-20 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Serve plain or with dipping sauce (such as ranch dressing). Makes 18
