Copycat Chicken Bake Costco
I've recreated Costco's beloved chicken bake at home, and it's become my go-to weeknight dinner! This golden, crispy pastry is stuffed with tender shredded chicken, smoky bacon, melty mozzarella, and a creamy Caesar dressing that makes every bite absolutely irresistible.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
- ½ cup cooked bacon crumbled
- 1 cup cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- ½ cup Caesar dressing
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 lb pizza dough
- 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, bacon, mozzarella, Caesar dressing, Parmesan, garlic powder, and pepper.
- Roll out pizza dough into rectangles. Place filling in the center of each, then fold and seal the edges tightly.
- Place seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Make Ahead: Prepare the filling and assemble the chicken bakes in advance. Store uncooked in the fridge and bake fresh when ready.
- Customizing the Flavor: Add sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, or a touch of hot sauce to the filling for a personalized twist.
- Serving Suggestions: Enjoy hot with a side of marinara sauce or a fresh green salad for a hearty meal.
- Allergy-Friendly Options: Use gluten-free pizza dough and a dairy-free cheese alternative for a gluten- and dairy-free version.
- Storage Tips: Store leftover chicken bakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for the best texture.
