Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ranch dressing, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, chopped spinach, diced bell pepper, green onions, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Lightly flour your work surface. Unroll the pizza dough onto the floured surface and stretch it into a rectangle, about 12 inches by 16 inches.
Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the dough, leaving about an inch of border around the edges.
Starting from one of the longer edges of the dough, carefully roll the dough over the filling, tucking the filling in as you go to create a tight log. Pinch the edges to seal the Stromboli.
Transfer the rolled Stromboli to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the top with the beaten egg.
Using a sharp knife, make several small slits on top of the Stromboli to allow steam to escape.
Bake the Stromboli for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
Once baked, let it cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Slice into generous portions and serve warm.
