Description

Take your Chicken Cordon Bleu to the next level with this easy-to-make Chicken Cordon Bleu Stromboli.

It’s perfect for a cozy dinner or impressing guests with minimal effort and maximum flavor.


Ingredients

Scale

Dough and Spread

  • 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise (optional)

Filling

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast (sliced or shredded)
  • 6 slices deli ham
  • 6 slices Swiss cheese

Topping

  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle approximately 12 by 14 inches to create a large base for the stromboli filling.
  3. Mix and Spread the Sauce. In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard and mayonnaise (if using). Spread this mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving about a 1-inch margin around the edges for sealing.
  4. Layer the Filling. Evenly layer the Swiss cheese slices over the spread, followed by the deli ham slices, and then top with the cooked chicken breast, ensuring full coverage.
  5. Form the Stromboli. Fold in the shorter sides of the dough, then roll tightly from one long edge to the other, sealing the seams and ends thoroughly to create a log shape that holds the filling securely inside.
  6. Add Toppings. Transfer the stromboli seam-side down onto your prepared baking sheet. Brush the top generously with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, dried parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor and a golden crust.
  7. Bake. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes to set before slicing.
  8. Serve. Slice the stromboli into portions and serve warm. It pairs wonderfully with a fresh side salad or dipping sauces such as honey mustard or marinara for a delicious meal.

Notes

  • To keep the stromboli from bursting, ensure seams are well sealed with a little water or egg wash.
  • You can substitute Swiss cheese with Gruyère or mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the mustard spread.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
  • Mayonnaise is optional but adds creaminess to the spread mixture.
