Copycat Costco Chicken Bake

Allow the pizza dough to rest at room temperature for approximately 1 hour to make it easier to work with.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and arrange the bacon strips in a single layer on the sheet.

Bake the bacon in the preheated oven until crispy and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer the cooked bacon to paper towels to drain the excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into smaller pieces. Keep the oven on.

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet, seasoned side down, and cook undisturbed until golden brown, approximately 5 minutes. Season the top side, flip, and cook for an additional minute. Add just enough water to cover the bottom of the pan and remove the skillet from the heat.

Transfer the skillet with the chicken to the preheated oven and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 165°F (74°C), around 17-20 minutes. Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the chicken to cool slightly before chopping it into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Lightly flour a large work surface. Divide the pizza dough into 3 equal portions. Roll each portion into a large circle, approximately 12-13 inches in diameter. Spread the Caesar dressing evenly over each dough circle, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese over the dressing. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the shredded Italian cheese blend. Evenly distribute the chopped chicken, crumbled bacon, green onions, and remaining Italian cheese blend over the dough circles. Gently fold the left and right sides of the dough slightly over the filling. Roll the bottom edge of the dough over the filling and continue rolling towards the top edge until fully enclosed. Pinch the edges to seal and use your hands to shape the filled dough into a long log, about 12 inches in length. Place the filled dough logs, seam side down, on the prepared baking sheet.

Brush the tops of the dough logs with the beaten egg and sprinkle evenly with the reserved Italian cheese blend. Sprinkle each log with 1 tablespoon of shredded Parmesan cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown, approximately 20 minutes. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
