BBQ Chicken Stromboli is full of melty provolone cheese, chicken, caramelized red onions and sweet and tangy bbq sauce. This makes an amazing quick and easy meal or appetizer!
I am starting to learn what it is like to be the “soccer mom”. Running errands all day and then running kids everywhere and basically living out of your car. If I would just give into getting a mini van and putting the stick figure family on the back of my car I would be set. 😉
Most of our days are on the go as soon as school gets out. But I absolutely hate getting fast food and really made it a goal to have a meal for them each night. No matter how busy our days are. So that is why I love quick and easy meals. And our family has been loving strombolis lately. This BBQ Chicken Stromboli became an instant favorite.
We’re big fans of BBQ chicken at our house, tender chicken smothered in sweet and tangy BBQ sauce is always a win. So turning that into a stromboli? Total no-brainer.
This recipe comes together fast thanks to a few smart shortcuts like premade pizza dough and store-bought rotisserie chicken. It’s low effort, high reward.
The result? Melty provolone, juicy chicken, caramelized onions, and BBQ sauce all baked into one golden, cheesy roll. It’s perfect as a meal or a crowd-pleasing appetizer. If you’re into this combo, you’ve got to try my Chicken Bacon Ranch Stromboli too! It’s another family favorite!

Instructions

- Roll out 1 (13.8-ounce) tube thin crust refrigerated pizza dough on a piece of parchment paper. In the center line up 6 slices provolone cheese in a row. Top with 2 cups shredded chicken, cooked onions, and ½ cup barbecue sauce,
- Fold the longer sides one at a time over the filling first before folding up the sides. Cut off any excess dough and pinch together the seams to seal it.
- Flip the whole thing over and brush the outside of the dough with 1 beaten egg. Top with 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning and 1 teaspoon grated parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top. Serve with more barbecue sauce on the side for dipping.

Can’t wait to try the stromboli, thank you
Delicious and enjoyable meal. A make again.
BBQ Chicken Stromboli is great! I just finished it last night and the result was unexpected, my wife and daughter both liked it, which made me happy. Thanks for your recipe
I love how delicious and how easy this recipe looks.
I am going to try to cook it tomorrow.
Thank You!
The sauce is just love. I have made that sauce my family loved the sauce. Your recipes are just awsome. Thankyou
I have made this several times now and it is a huge hit. My family wasn’t as wild about the bbq sauce, so I’ve started using pizza sauce instead. It substitutes nicely. With 5 kids, it’s nice to find something EVERYONE will eat.
How many servings does this make? I’m planning to to bring this to a gathering tomorrow.
This makes about 4-6 servings. You will be a fan favorite with this Stromboli! XOXO
This looks great! Could I make this ahead of time and refrigerate it before baking?
Yes, of course!!
Great recipe,
They look so delicious and so easy to make.
I think they will taste great too.
I am going to try cooking them on Sunday for my family.
Thank You!
I made this tonight. It was OK. I think the problem was our “italian spice” is probaly outdated. So, half is left over and we will add some serious garlic and additional spice to see if the leftovers are better than the original.
I made this tonight and it was YUMMY! I didn’t have great luck with the parchment paper though! The dough stuck to the bottom. Next time I will just spray the pan and do the dough straight on it. Great recipe though!
Looks good – but how much chicken? It’s not listed in the ingredients…
2 cups
There is no mention of chicken in the list of ingredients. How much should I use for the whole recipe? Thanks – can’t wait to make it!
It says 2 cups of chicken
In BBQ Chicken Stromboli, you don’t specify how much chicken should be used.
My husband is anti-chicken, but I think the BBQ sauce might win him over. Looks good!
Alyssa, how much chicken? Taste of France..Try turkey breast (any meat your husband likes actually)
He should like this then, since there is NO chicken in the ingredients!
Recipe looks like it would be good except there’s no chicken listed ??
It says 2c shredded chicken
