A Pizza Roll Recipe Fancy Enough For Dinner Parties

Besides the taste, the best part about these pizza rolls is that they take about 15 minutes to make. And if you ask me these are the nicest looking pizza rolls I’ve ever seen. White table cloth pizza rolls even…

Not only can you serve these pizza rolls at a party for appetizers or for dinner (maybe a caesar salad on the side) but the kids love these pizza rolls too! You can add all sorts of different pizza toppings like sausage, mushrooms and pepperoni. So try these pizza rolls instead of ordering take out!

How To Make These Saucy Chicken Pizza Rolls

Start these Saucy Chicken Pizza Rolls by getting a packaged pizza dough, shredded mozzarella cheese, and of course the spaghetti sauce. You can get a rotisserie chicken from the store and shred it to make this pizza roll recipe really easy, or use leftover chicken.

Slightly roll the dough out on a board and then cover it with the spaghetti sauce. I think I’ve got the perfect amount in this recipe, so it’s saucy but not falling apart on you.

If you cant’ find this type of jarred sauce you can use whatever marinara sauce you have on hand. This recipe was for a sponsored post that we did a few years back and it was delicious, it works with any sauce!

Then comes a layer of mozzarella cheese and shredded chicken. You could also use crumbled beef or sausage that you browned up ahead of time, or even leave the meat out for a vegetarian version.

Then the final layer is fresh basil. The fresh basil really adds a good flavor to these pizza rolls, so don’t skip this step!

Then it’s time to roll it up. Do this carefully, it’s pretty stuffed at this point, but you’re going to start with the long end and roll to end up with the seam side down. Then cut it into about 1 1/2″ pieces so you end up with 9 pieces.

Stand them up in an 8″x 8″ baking dish and get ’em in the oven.

These Saucy Chicken Pizza Rolls bake covered for about 20 minutes, then uncovered for another 5 to crisp up the tops.

Cut yourself out a roll (or cut them all) and dive in. The chunks of eggplant and artichoke mixed together with the cheese and the chicken…it’ll seem like you slaved all day in the kitchen to make these!

And for the real fun news – I’m hosting a giveaway!
