 How to Make Chicken Cordon Bleu Stromboli

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Roll Out the Dough

Unroll the refrigerated pizza crust directly onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently stretch or roll it into a rectangle if needed.

Step 3: Spread the Dijon

Evenly spread the Dijon mustard over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges to help seal the stromboli.

Step 4: Layer the Fillings

Distribute the shredded chicken, ham slices, and Swiss cheese over the mustard layer.

Step 5: Roll and Seal

Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seam and ends to seal completely, placing the seam side down on the pan.

Step 6: Brush with Egg

Brush the top and sides of the stromboli with the beaten egg to help it get that glossy, golden finish.

Step 7: Add the Crunch

In a small bowl, combine the Panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Sprinkle this mixture over the stromboli for added texture and flavor.

Step 8: Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9: Cool & Slice

Let the stromboli cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!

 Recipe Tips & Variations

• Cheese swap: Not a Swiss fan? Try mozzarella or provolone for a milder flavor.

• No Panko? Use crushed Ritz crackers or Italian breadcrumbs instead.

• Add a dipping sauce: Serve with honey mustard or ranch for dipping.

FAQs

Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble it a few hours in advance and refrigerate. Add the egg wash and topping just before baking.

What kind of ham works best?
Thinly sliced deli ham or leftover holiday ham both work beautifully.

How do I store leftovers?
Wrap slices in foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
