For the Grilled Chicken

Method

Marinating and Grilling the Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, ensuring they are fully coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Assembling the Stromboli

  1. 3

    Prepare the Dough

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 4

    Add the Fillings

    Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the rolled-out dough. Layer the sliced grilled chicken, chopped sweet bell peppers, chopped romaine lettuce, and house-made bruschetta on top of the cheese.

  3. 5

    Roll and Seal

    Starting from one end, carefully roll the dough over the fillings to create a log shape. Pinch the edges to seal and tuck under the ends.

  4. 6

    Bake the Stromboli

    Place the rolled Stromboli on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.

  5. 7

    Serve

    Slice the Stromboli into pieces and serve warm, drizzled with pesto aioli to taste.
