Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast (sliced or shredded)
- 6 slices deli ham
- 6 slices Swiss cheese
Spread
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise (optional)
Toppings
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll the pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 12×14 inches, ensuring an even thickness for consistent baking.
- Assemble the Stromboli: In a small bowl, combine Dijon mustard and mayonnaise if using. Spread this mixture evenly over the rolled dough, leaving about 1 inch from the edges clear. Then layer Swiss cheese, ham, and cooked chicken evenly across the dough surface.
- Roll the Stromboli: Fold in the sides of the dough and carefully roll it tightly from one long edge to the opposite, sealing all seams and ends to form a secure log shape.
- Add Toppings: Place the stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top with melted butter and sprinkle garlic powder, dried parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the surface.
- Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the crust turns golden brown and crispy. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve: Slice into portions and serve warm with your choice of sides like a fresh salad or dipping sauces such as honey mustard or marinara.
Notes
- You can substitute the cooked chicken breast with leftover rotisserie chicken for ease.
- Mayonnaise is optional in the spread but helps add moisture and richness.
- Ensure the dough seams are well sealed to prevent filling leakage during baking.
- Letting the stromboli rest after baking improves sliceability and helps the filling settle.
- Use parchment paper for easier cleanup and to avoid sticking.
