Copycat Costco Chicken Bake Recipe
An Original Recipe by Lorraine Elliott
Recipe Overview
Preparation time: 25 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes
Makes 6 chicken bakes
Ingredients Needed
- 600g/21ozs. pizza dough
- 1/2 cup flour for rolling
- 500g/1.1lbs cooked chicken breast, chopped (I used a bbq rotisserie chicken)
- 200g/7oz. cooked bacon, chopped
- 2 sticks green spring onion, chopped
- 250g/8.8ozs cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 cups grated mozzarella
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- 1-2 teaspoons red chilli flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper
- 200ml/flozs. Caesar dressing
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese to sprinkle
Step-By-Step Instructions
Step 1 - Divide the dough into 6 portions. If your dough was in the fridge, allow it to come to temperature for 1 hour.
Step 2 - Mix the chicken breast, bacon, green onion, cream cheese, mozzarella, first lot of parmesan cheese and red chilli flakes together and season with salt and pepper.
Step 3 - Line 2 baking trays and preheat oven to 255C/491F (Costco chicken bakes are typically baked at 600F/315C). Flour a surface and roll out one ball of dough to a large rectangle. You want the dough to be quite thin. If the dough keeps springing back just let it rest for 5-10 minutes and then roll out a bit more.
Step 4 - Brush the dough with the Caesar dressing and add 1/4 of the chicken mixture as a log to the bottom section. Roll up the dough tucking in the sides (like a burrito) and place on the baking tray and keep in the fridge until you've done the same with the rest of the dough and filling.
Step 5 - Brush the top of the logs with Caesar dressing and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until dark golden.
Personal Note
My time management often baffles my friends. My closest friends all know that I am not a morning person at all. Sometimes I wake up at 7am but it's not very often and whenever I message someone around 7am they inevitably ask me, "Why are you doing awake so early?"
I messaged Monica recently at 7am and she asked me what I was doing up so early. "I set an alarm for 7am. I have to leave to pick you up at 11:30," I answered her.
I start with a cup of tea in bed, then two glasses of water and then I do my HIIT that takes around an hour. By that time it's almost 2 hours. Then I do some work and answer emails and then I shower and start to get dressed. The shower and makeup and getting dressed only takes 30 minutes.
Monica laughed after I explained my complex process of my mornings to her. I told her, "I'll see you in 4 3/4 hours!".
So tell me Dear Reader, what is your morning routine? Have you ever tried a Costco chicken bake?
