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)

Topping

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 rectangle approximately 12 by 14 inches to create a base for the filling.
Assemble the Stromboli: In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard and mayonnaise if using, then spread this mixture evenly across the dough rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Layer the Swiss cheese slices over the spread, followed by the deli ham and the cooked chicken breast evenly across the surface.
Roll and Seal: Fold in the sides of the dough and roll tightly from one long edge to the other, making sure to seal the seams and ends well to form a log-shaped stromboli.
Prepare for Baking: Place the rolled stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top generously with melted butter, then sprinkle with garlic powder, dried parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor and a golden crust.
Bake: Bake the stromboli in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve: Slice the stromboli into portions and serve warm. It pairs well with a side salad or dipping sauces such as honey mustard or marinara for a complete meal.

Notes

Mayonnaise is optional in the spread but adds extra creaminess and flavor.
Ensure the seams of the stromboli are sealed well to prevent filling leakage during baking.
The stromboli can be made ahead and refrigerated; reheat before serving for best texture.
Substitute Swiss cheese with Gruyère for a slightly different flavor profile.
For a crispier crust, bake on a pizza stone if available.
