Homemade Cheesy Chicken Recipes for Kids

The first of the preparation includes preheating of the oven to 375°F. And spreading out a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the cheeses in a big bowl. You specifically use mozzarella cheese, provolone cheese and Parmesan cheese and shred 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, 1 cup of provolone cheese and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Take ½ cup of this cheese mixture using a spoon and mix it in another bowl and use the remaining cheese mixture in the following steps.
Finally, add 2 cups of torn rotisserie chicken, 4 slices of crispy cooked bacon torn and 2 T chopped fresh chives. Pour 1/3 cup of Caesar dressing on the above ingredients and some freshly ground black pepper. Fold all the ingredients such that they mix up well and coat with the oil.
First you need to get one pound of pizza dough and continue to split into four equal parts. Using your fingers, lightly brush each piece with olive oil, then one of them into a 7-by-9-inch rectangle. Put a portion of the filling of the quarters in the center of the dough. And leave an inch of border, all around. One must fold in the sides and then roll the dough over the filling pinching the sides so that it can close properly. Put it with the seam side down on the baking sheet. The rest of the dough and filling is used in the same manner, with 2 inches of space in between each pocket.
With remaining melted butter you have to brush the rolls once and on the top spread the cheese mixture you keep aside. Bake the patties in the preheated oven until golden and crispy for approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Allow them to sit for about 5 minutes before eating it.
