Ingredients
Scale
Stromboli
- 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
Topping
- 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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Crust: Roll out the refrigerated pizza crust onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly to your desired thickness for the stromboli base.
- Spread Mustard: Evenly spread the Dijon mustard over the pizza crust, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges to allow easy sealing of the roll.
- Add Fillings: Layer the shredded chicken, thinly sliced ham, and shredded Swiss cheese evenly on top of the mustard-covered crust for a balanced flavor in each bite.
- Roll and Seal: Carefully roll up the pizza crust starting from one of the longer sides, then pinch the edges well to seal the stromboli so that the filling doesn’t leak out during baking.
- Brush with Egg: Brush the beaten egg all over the top of the rolled stromboli to help achieve a shiny, golden crust.
- Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the Panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Sprinkle this breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the stromboli to add a crunchy, flavorful crust.
- Bake: Place the stromboli in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
- Cool and Slice: Remove from the oven and allow the stromboli to cool for a few minutes before slicing it into servings. This resting time helps the filling set for easier cutting.
Notes
- Substitute mozzarella cheese for Swiss for a different flavor.
- Add red pepper flakes over mustard before layering for a spicy kick.
- Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save time.
- Serve warm for the best texture and flavor experience.
