Introduction

Take your favorite Chicken Cordon Bleu flavors and wrap them in crispy, golden pizza dough with this easy Chicken Cordon Bleu Stromboli recipe. Filled with tender chicken, savory ham, and melted Swiss cheese, it’s a perfect meal for a cozy night or to impress your guests with minimal effort.

A sandwich is cut in half and stacked on a white plate, showing two thick layers of soft, golden-brown bread. Inside, there are shredded pieces of white chicken and pink slices of ham layered with melted cheese, creating a mix of creamy white and pale pink colors. Small green parsley bits are sprinkled on top of the bread and on the plate. Next to the plate, there are light golden-brown, crispy crackers and two small white bowls with a white creamy sauce and a pale yellow mustard. Everything is placed on a white marbled surface.

Ingredients

1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
2 cups cooked chicken breast (sliced or shredded)
6 slices deli ham
6 slices Swiss cheese
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp mayonnaise (optional)
1 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried parsley
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2: On a lightly floured surface, roll the pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 12 by 14 inches.
Step 3: In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard with mayonnaise if using. Spread this mixture evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
Step 4: Layer the Swiss cheese, ham, and cooked chicken evenly over the dough.
Step 5: Fold in the sides of the dough, then roll it tightly from one long edge to the other to form a log. Seal the seams and ends securely.
Step 6: Place the stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top with melted butter, then sprinkle with garlic powder, dried parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 7: Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and crispy. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 8: Slice into pieces and serve warm, paired with a side salad or your favorite dipping sauce like honey mustard or marinara.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper or a pinch of smoked paprika inside before rolling.
Try substituting the ham with smoked turkey or prosciutto for a different twist.
If you prefer a crispier crust, brush the stromboli with an egg wash instead of butter before baking.
Use fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary in place of dried parsley for a more aromatic finish.

Storage

Store any leftovers wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 10-15 minutes or until warmed through and the crust is crisp again. Avoid microwaving to keep the crust from becoming soggy.

How to Serve

Two pieces of a stuffed bread roll are stacked on a white plate, both cut to show the inside. The bread’s outer layer is golden brown and soft. Inside, there are three clear layers: a bottom layer of shredded light brown chicken, a middle layer of thin pink ham slices, and a top layer of melted light yellow cheese. Small green herb pieces are sprinkled on and around the bread. On the side of the plate are some beige crispy chips. The background is a white marbled texture with blurred small bowls of sauces in white dishes. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
