Ingredients

• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 small red onion, julienned
• 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade, about 12-14 oz)
• 6 slices provolone cheese
• 2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
• ½ cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp Parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Caramelize the Onions
   In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the julienned red onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until soft and caramelized. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. Prepare the Dough
   On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle (about 12×10 inches). Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet for easier assembly.
4. Assemble the Stromboli
   Spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce (about ¼ cup) over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Layer the provolone cheese slices evenly over the sauce. In a bowl, toss the shredded rotisserie chicken with the remaining BBQ sauce, then spread the chicken and caramelized onions evenly over the cheese.
5. Roll and Seal
   Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough into a tight log, tucking in the ends as you go to seal the filling inside. Place the stromboli seam-side down on the baking sheet.
6. Brush and Season
   Brush the top of the stromboli with the beaten egg. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor and a golden finish.
7. Bake
   Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the stromboli is golden brown and crispy. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
8. Serve
   Slice into 1-inch pieces and serve warm with extra BBQ sauce on the side for dipping.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair with a fresh green salad or coleslaw for a balanced meal.
• Serve as a game-day appetizer or party snack with ranch or hot sauce for dipping.
• Make it a meal with roasted veggies or fries on the side.
