I'm gluten free so I plan on subbing a different type of dough. How many cups of pizza dough do you use? Thank you so much!
You will need the same amount of dough as you would for a medium size pizza. I hope this helps.
Makes a solid fleshlight substitute!
Hey Terry, thank you! Hope you loved it!
Really yummy chicken bake. I read through reviews and saw that many people recommend the Caesar dressing so I used that, and it turned out amazing. Thank you!
Kristina, thank you for sharing your feedback. I am so glad you loved it!
Hi, thanks for the recipe! I used Alfredo sauce instead of ranch and it was so good ?
Oh thats an awesome idea. Thank you for sharing. I think Alfredo would add so much of a creamy flavor.
The costco Chicken Bake utilizes caesar dressing, mozz cheese, bacon, and parmesan cheese. It starts as a round dough ball and you roll and scoop it until you're able to form the rolled log. This is no where near the costco chicken bake.
Alan, thanks for letting us in one secret!! Recipe does say "inspired by", I agree that is not same as chicken bake from costco 🙂 probably a little better .. lol
Okay, hold up, there is no way this is better than a chicken bake DIRECTLY FROM COSTCO. I'm going to need to check your Costco membership card.
lol:) way better!
do you think it will be ok to us Pillsbury bread dough
I have used pillsbury before and it worked!
Awesome. I like the dough I make at home for this recipe but I think its definitely amazing option.
how many chicken bakes does the whole dough recipe make?
Depending on the size you make them, around 10
Trader joes sells pizza dough in bags in the refrigerator, for $1.15 eavh bag. I always pick up a few when im there.
That's a great price. I have never tried it before. I will pick it up next time I am there. Thanks for telling me.
Can you freeze these chicken bakes?
You can, just bake them for about 10 minutes. Freeze them in a ziplock bag than reheat in an oven.
Thank you:)
I made them yesterday using my own dough. I didnt have any bacon, instead I put a little of mushrooms and tomato. They were ok, but I dont think I will make them again. I like calzone much better.
But thanks for the idea 🙂
Maybe the dough you used made the difference? How do you make your calzone?
I made these for dinner yesterday and they were so perfect! I didn't have ranch on hand, but I did have some homemade Caesar dressing so I used that and omg was it delish! Also, since I'm not a fan of 'breads' I rolled the dough into smaller sections and stuffed it then folded it over instead of rolling it so that there wouldn't be any dough in the inside. 🙂 Thank you for my new 'go to' recipe! :))
Luda I love that idea with making them shaped almost like piroshki. I was thinking maybe even Alfredo sauce would work too.
Thanks for sharing your tips.
What a great idea making your own. I liked Costcos chicken bake so much until once I bit on a huge piece of chicken fat. 🙂 You are right, yours tasted much better just by looking at the picture you can tell. Do you know if Costco uses ranch or some other sauce?
I honestly don't know what they use for the sauce but I like the ranch in this recipe.
They use caeser dressing
Oh cool! Thanks for sharing
That chicken bake looks amazing! Do you think using Pillsburry pizza crust would work fine? And I'm thinking about adding some diced tomatoes and some spinach on the inside.
I think pillsburry pizza crust will work, the recipe I have is actually very simple. Green onions would be an awesome addition too.
