Introduction

Take your Chicken Cordon Bleu to a new level of deliciousness with this easy-to-make Chicken Cordon Bleu Stromboli. Crispy chicken, savory ham, and melted Swiss cheese are wrapped in golden, crispy pizza dough for a comforting twist on the classic. It’s perfect for a cozy dinner or impressing guests with minimal effort.

A sandwich is cut in half and stacked on a white plate, showing two thick layers of soft, golden-brown bread. Inside, there are shredded pieces of white chicken and pink slices of ham layered with melted cheese, creating a mix of creamy white and pale pink colors. Small green parsley bits are sprinkled on top of the bread and on the plate. Next to the plate, there are light golden-brown, crispy crackers and two small white bowls with a white creamy sauce and a pale yellow mustard. Everything is placed on a white marbled surface.

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 the 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.
Step 4: Layer the Swiss cheese, ham, and cooked chicken evenly across the dough.
Step 5: Fold in the sides of the dough and roll it tightly from one long edge to the other, sealing the seams and ends to form a log shape.
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 Parmesan cheese.
Step 7: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy. Let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 8: Slice into pieces and serve warm with a side salad or dipping sauce like honey mustard or marinara.

Tips & Variations

For a richer flavor, try adding a layer of creamy béchamel sauce inside before rolling.
Use peppered or smoked ham for a smoky twist.
If you prefer, swap Swiss cheese with Gruyère or mozzarella for a different melt and taste.
Make sure to seal the edges tightly to prevent filling from leaking out during baking.

Storage

Store any leftover Stromboli wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10-15 minutes to restore its crispy crust. You can also freeze it wrapped well for up to 1 month; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
