Ingredients

1 refrigerated pizza crust
1 1/2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
1/2 cup ham, thinly sliced
1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
1 egg, beaten
1 tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried parsley
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Roll out the refrigerated pizza crust onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3: Spread the Dijon mustard evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Step 4: Layer the shredded chicken, thinly sliced ham, and shredded Swiss cheese evenly over the mustard.
Step 5: Carefully roll up the pizza crust, starting from one of the longer sides, and pinch the edges to seal the stromboli.
Step 6: Brush the beaten egg over the top of the stromboli.
Step 7: In a small bowl, mix together the Panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the stromboli.
Step 8: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the stromboli is golden brown and cooked through.
Step 9: Let the stromboli cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips & Variations

For a different flavor profile, use mozzarella cheese instead of Swiss and add a few slices of avocado for a creamy touch.
If you prefer a spicier version, sprinkle some red pepper flakes over the mustard before layering the fillings.
To save time, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken instead of cooking your own.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving to keep the crust from becoming soggy.

How to Serve

The image shows six golden-yellow mini shepherd's pies in a metal muffin tray placed on a white marbled surface. Each mini pie has a puffy, slightly browned mashed potato top layer with a light crust, showing some texture with soft peaks and a few darker golden spots. The pies fill most of their muffin cup, and the mashed potato layer looks creamy with a smooth yet slightly crispy finish at the edges. The tray appears well-used with slight dark marks around the edges of each cup. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use homemade pizza dough instead of refrigerated crust?

Yes, homemade dough works great and can add a fresh, personalized touch to your stromboli. Just roll it out to the same size as the refrigerated crust.

Can I freeze the stromboli before baking?

Absolutely. Prepare the stromboli as directed, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 2 months. Bake straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
