2 tablespoons fresh chives
1 jalapeño
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional, for that extra tang)
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1 cup shredded cheddar
1/2 cup ranch dressing (for homemade, blend Greek yogurt or sour cream, buttermilk, chives, parsley, dill, garlic and onion powder, salt, and pepper)
1 tablespoon parmesan

Instructions
1-Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet: Okay, friends, let’s dive into making these Buffalo Chicken Strombolis it’s easier than you think and oh-so-rewarding! Start by preheating your oven to 450°F and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to avoid any mess. This step sets the stage for a crispy, golden finish that everyone will love.
2-Mix chicken mixture: Next, in a big bowl, mix together 1 pound of shredded cooked chicken, 1 cup of buffalo sauce, 1/2 cup of chopped fresh cilantro or parsley, 2 tablespoons of fresh chives, and 1 jalapeño for that spicy kick. Once that’s all combined, you’re ready to roll! For the dough, take your pizza dough divided into 4 pieces and roll each one into an 8-inch circle or oval on a floured surface.
3-4-Roll and fill dough: Spread 1/2 cup of ranch dressing over each dough piece, then add the buffalo chicken mixture evenly on top. Layer on 1 cup of shredded mozzarella and 1 cup of shredded cheddar feel free to drizzle a bit more buffalo sauce if you want extra heat. Tuck in the sides, roll it up like a cinnamon roll, pinch the edges to seal, and place it seam-side down on your baking sheet. In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of parmesan with 1 teaspoon of seasoning blend (parmesan, sesame seeds, and Italian seasoning), brush the tops with 1 beaten egg, sprinkle on the seasoning, and cut two small slits on each for steam.
5-Bake as directed: Bake at 450°F for 10 minutes, then drop the heat to 375°F and keep going for 20 to 30 minutes until they’re golden brown. Let them cool a bit before slicing, and serve with extra buffalo sauce and ranch for dipping it’s a hit every time!
