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

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Step 2: On a lightly floured surface, roll the pizza dough into a large rectangle about 12 by 14 inches.
  3. 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.
  4. Step 4: Layer the Swiss cheese, ham, and cooked chicken evenly across the dough.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Step 7: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy. Let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
  8. 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.

How to Serve

Two pieces of a stuffed bread roll are stacked on a white plate, both cut to show the inside. The bread’s outer layer is golden brown and soft. Inside, there are three clear layers: a bottom layer of shredded light brown chicken, a middle layer of thin pink ham slices, and a top layer of melted light yellow cheese. Small green herb pieces are sprinkled on and around the bread. On the side of the plate are some beige crispy chips. The background is a white marbled texture with blurred small bowls of sauces in white dishes. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

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 & Topping

  • 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

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle approximately 12 by 14 inches to create a flat base for your stromboli fillings.
  3. Assemble the Stromboli: In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard and mayonnaise if using, then spread the mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges free. Layer the Swiss cheese slices evenly over the mustard, then top with ham slices and cooked chicken evenly distributed across the dough.
  4. Roll and Seal: Fold in the sides of the dough and carefully roll it tightly from one long edge to the other, sealing the seams and ends thoroughly to form a tight log shape that keeps the filling inside while baking.
  5. Add Toppings: Place the rolled stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the surface generously with melted butter, then evenly sprinkle garlic powder, dried parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese over the top to enhance flavor and encourage browning.
  6. Bake: Bake the stromboli in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the filling to set before slicing.
  7. Serve: Slice into pieces and serve warm with a fresh side salad or your favorite dipping sauce such as honey mustard or marinara sauce for a delightful meal or appetizer.

Notes

  • Mayonnaise is optional, but it adds a nice tang and moisture to the spread mixture.
  • Make sure to seal the dough edges well to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
  • Allow the stromboli to cool slightly before slicing to keep the layers intact.
  • Serve with dipping sauces like honey mustard or marinara for enhanced flavor.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven for best texture.
