Course Main Dish

Equipment

  • Large baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Rolling Pin
  • Sharp knife
  • Pastry brush
  • Meat thermometer
  • Cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound pizza dough store-bought works great
  • 2 cups cooked chicken diced small
  • 8 slices deli ham chopped
  • 1½ cups Swiss cheese shredded
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 egg beaten (for brushing)
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F first.
  • Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Let the pizza dough rest at room temperature.
  • This makes rolling easier and prevents tearing.
  • Flour your work surface lightly.
  • Roll dough into a large rectangle.
  • Aim for about 12x15 inches.
  • Make it roughly ¼ inch thick.
  • Even thickness helps it cook uniformly.
  • Spread Dijon mustard over the dough.
  • Leave a 1-inch border around edges.
  • Layer the chicken evenly across the surface.
  • Add chopped ham on top of chicken.
  • Sprinkle both cheeses over everything.
  • Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Starting from the long side, roll tightly.
  • Pinch the seam closed very well.
  • Tuck the ends underneath the roll.
  • This prevents filling from leaking out.
  • Place seam-side down on baking sheet.
  • Mix melted butter with beaten egg.
  • Brush this mixture over the entire stromboli.
  • Make 3-4 diagonal slashes on top.
  • This lets steam escape while baking.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  • The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
  • Let it cool for 5 minutes.
  • This helps cheese set slightly.
  • Slice into thick pieces with sharp knife.
  • Serve warm and enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • Don't overfill your stromboli with ingredients.
  • Too much filling makes it hard to seal.
  • Use rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • It adds great flavor too.
  • Brush egg wash generously for golden color.
  • Let dough rest if it springs back.
  • This relaxes the gluten for easier rolling.
  • Try adding a pinch of Italian seasoning.
  • It adds extra flavor depth.
  • Serve with ranch or honey mustard sauce.
  • These make perfect dipping companions.
  • Freeze leftovers in individual portions wrapped tight.
  • Reheat in the oven for best results.
