Introduction

Take your classic Chicken Cordon Bleu to a whole new level with this easy Chicken Cordon Bleu Stromboli. Wrapped in golden, crispy pizza dough and filled with tender chicken, savory ham, and melted Swiss cheese, it’s a delicious and satisfying meal perfect for any night of the week.

The image shows two halves of a stuffed bread roll placed on a white plate with a few light brown chips beside them. The bread is golden brown with a soft, slightly shiny crust. Inside the roll, there are three visible layers: a top layer of light pink shredded ham, a middle layer of creamy white cheese, and a bottom layer of finely shredded, light brown chicken. The filling looks moist and soft, contrasting with the bread’s crust. The background is a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
2 cups cooked chicken breast (sliced or shredded)
6 slices deli ham
6 slices Swiss cheese
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp mayonnaise (optional)
1 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried parsley
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2: On a lightly floured surface, roll the pizza dough into a large rectangle about 12 by 14 inches.
Step 3: In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard and mayonnaise (if using). Spread this mixture evenly over the dough, leaving about 1 inch from the edges clear.
Step 4: Layer the Swiss cheese, ham, and cooked chicken evenly over the dough.
Step 5: Fold in the sides of the dough, then roll it tightly from one long edge to the other to form a log. Seal the seams and ends carefully.
Step 6: Place the stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top with melted butter, then sprinkle with garlic powder, dried parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 7: Bake for 25-30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and crispy. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 8: Slice the stromboli and serve warm with a side salad or a dipping sauce like honey mustard or marinara.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes before rolling for a subtle kick.
Swap Swiss cheese with Gruyère or mozzarella for a different melt and taste.
Use freshly cooked chicken seasoned with your favorite herbs for added depth.
Brush with an egg wash instead of butter for a shinier, deeper golden crust.

Storage

Store leftover stromboli in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to keep the crust crisp. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

How to Serve

The image shows a soft, golden-brown sandwich cut in half to reveal two thick layers inside. The top layer has a creamy, light-colored filling mixed with pinkish bits of meat, while the bottom layer has shredded light brown meat. The sandwich sits on a white plate with some pale beige chips around it, and there is a cup of white sauce in the background. The surface beneath everything is a clean white marbled texture.
