To make a chicken bake like Costco, you’ll need cooked chicken, cheese, green onions, cream sauce, and pizza dough. Start by mixing the chicken with the other ingredients, then roll it in the dough and bake until golden.
The first step is to gather all your ingredients. You’ll need about 2 cups of cooked chicken, shredded. You can use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
Next, grab a cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and about a half cup of chopped green onions. The cream sauce is essential; you can either make it or buy a premade version.
Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface. You can use store-bought dough or make your own if you’re feeling adventurous.
In a bowl, combine the cooked chicken, cheese, green onions, and cream sauce. Mix it all well so that everything is evenly coated.
Spoon the chicken mixture onto the rolled-out dough. You want to create a line down the center, leaving enough space at the edges for folding.
Carefully fold the dough over the filling, pinching the edges to seal it. Make sure there are no gaps; you don’t want the filling to leak out.
Place the chicken bake seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown.
Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve it warm, and enjoy your homemade Costco-style chicken bake!
