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
Toppings
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat 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 out the pizza dough into a large rectangle approximately 12 by 14 inches to create an even and flat base for the filling.
- Assemble the Stromboli: In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard and mayonnaise if using. Spread this mixture evenly over the dough, leaving about 1 inch of space from the edges to allow for sealing. Layer the Swiss cheese slices evenly over the mustard spread, followed by the slices of ham, then the cooked chicken breast, spreading them evenly across the dough.
- Roll and Seal: Fold in the sides of the dough slightly and then carefully roll it tightly from one long edge to the other to form a log shape. Press and seal the seams and ends thoroughly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- Add Toppings: Place the stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top generously with melted butter, then sprinkle the garlic powder, dried parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top for added flavor and color.
- Bake: Bake the stromboli in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and crispy. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
- 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 extra zest.
Notes
- You can use store-bought pizza dough for convenience or homemade dough for a fresher taste.
- Mayonnaise is optional in the mustard spread but adds a nice creaminess.
- Letting the stromboli cool slightly before slicing helps maintain its shape and makes it easier to cut.
- For a crispier crust, bake on a pizza stone or preheated baking sheet if available.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
