Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika

Instructions
Prepare the Chicken:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
- Let the chicken rest, then slice it thinly.
Assemble the Stromboli:
- Roll out the pizza dough into a 12×16 inch rectangle.
- Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard and mayonnaise over the dough.
- Layer the ham slices evenly, followed by Swiss cheese.
- Arrange the sliced chicken on top, and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Carefully roll the dough into a log, pinching the edges to seal.
Bake the Stromboli:
- Place the rolled stromboli seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the top with the beaten egg.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
Finish and Serve:
- Allow the stromboli to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
Tips:
- Add dried oregano or basil to the mustard and mayo for extra flavor.
- Substitute Swiss cheese with provolone or cheddar if you prefer.
- You can make the stromboli ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to bake.
- Serve with marinara, ranch, or honey mustard for dipping.
Enjoy this savory, cheesy Chicken Cordon Bleu Stromboli!
