Ingredients
Scale
Stromboli Base
- 1 refrigerated pizza dough (13.8 oz)
Filling
- 1½ cups cooked chicken breast (sliced or shredded)
- 6 slices deli ham
- 1½ cups shredded Swiss cheese
Spread and Seasoning
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
Finishing
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp melted butter (optional, for brushing)
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dough: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the refrigerated pizza dough into a rectangle shape.
- Make the Spread and Apply: In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard and mayonnaise until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges to allow for sealing.
- Layer the Fillings: Arrange the deli ham slices evenly over the spread on the dough. Next, distribute the cooked chicken breast over the ham, followed by a generous layer of shredded Swiss cheese. Sprinkle the garlic powder and Italian seasoning evenly on top to enhance flavor.
- Roll and Seal: Starting from one of the long edges, carefully and tightly roll the dough into a log, ensuring the fillings stay in place. Pinch the edges to seal the stromboli securely and prevent filling leakage during baking.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the rolled stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top generously with the beaten egg, and optionally brush melted butter for a golden finish. Make a few slits on top to allow steam to escape as it bakes.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the stromboli is golden brown and cooked through. Once baked, let it cool for about 5 minutes.
- Serve: Slice the stromboli into portions, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce such as honey mustard or ranch.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken is an easy shortcut to save prep time.
- Feel free to add extra cheese or substitute Swiss for provolone for variation.
- Serve with honey mustard or ranch dressing for a perfect dipping experience.
