On a lightly floured surface, roll out the crust into rectangles after cutting at seams. When using refrigerated dough, place the bowl in a well-oiled dish, cover and allow to come to room temperature for 1 to 2 hours.
Spread the barbecue sauce. Top with shredded chicken, Italian chicken, cheese mixture.
Rolling the crust, pinching the seams lightly to seal. Spread cooking spray on a baking sheet with the seams facing down.
Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Sprinkle some more cheese and add more barbecue sauce, if required. Bake for another 5 minutes or so, until the cheese melts.
Garnish with chopped parsley.
Use a spatula to lift off the rolls. Serve immediately.
