1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese 

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions:

 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 

 On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle (about 12×15 inches). 

 Spread the shredded chicken evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. 

 Sprinkle the crumbled turkey bacon and both mozzarella and cheddar cheeses on top of the chicken. 

 Season with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. 

 Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough into a tight log, tucking in the ends as you go. Place the stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

 Brush the top with beaten egg and melted butter for a golden crust. 

 Using a sharp knife, make small slits on top of the stromboli to allow steam to escape.
