Description

Chicken Cordon Bleu Stromboli offers a delicious twist on the classic chicken cordon bleu by transforming it into a hearty, cheesy stromboli. Tender seasoned chicken strips are combined with ham, Swiss, and mozzarella cheese, all wrapped in a golden, flaky pizza dough crust. This easy-to-make baked dish is perfect for family dinners or entertaining guests, delivering layers of savory flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Cheese

  • 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup of cooked ham, diced
  • 1 cup of Swiss cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, shredded

Seasonings and Oil

  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon of onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil

Dough and Finishing

  • 1 package of pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) so it’s ready for baking the stromboli.
  2. Slice the chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips about 1/2 inch thick to ensure even cooking.
  3. Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken strips and season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Finish cooking chicken: Sauté the chicken for 5-7 minutes until it is cooked through and no longer pink. Chop into smaller pieces and set aside.
  5. Prepare filling mixture: In a bowl, combine the cooked chicken pieces, diced ham, Swiss cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Mix thoroughly and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Prepare the dough: If using store-bought pizza dough, let it come to room temperature for 10–15 minutes. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 12×16 inch rectangle.
  7. Transfer dough to baking sheet: Place the rolled dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet for easy removal and cleanup.
  8. Add the filling: Spoon the chicken and cheese mixture evenly onto the center of the dough, leaving about 2 inches of space on all sides.
  9. Fold and seal: Fold the long sides of the dough over the filling, pinch to seal the edges securely, then fold the short ends and pinch again to close completely.
  10. Prepare for baking: Cut a few slits on top of the dough to allow steam to escape. Brush the entire top of the stromboli with the beaten egg to create a golden crust.
  11. Bake: Place the stromboli in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until it turns golden brown.
  12. Rotate during baking: Halfway through baking, rotate the baking sheet to ensure even cooking and browning.
  13. Rest and serve: Let the stromboli cool for 5-10 minutes once out of the oven, then slice into thick pieces and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Allowing the dough to rest before rolling helps prevent it from shrinking while baking.
  • Make sure the chicken is fully cooked before mixing with cheese to avoid undercooked meat inside the stromboli.
  • Feel free to add other herbs like thyme or oregano to enhance flavor.
  • The egg wash is critical for achieving a shiny, golden crust—do not skip this step.
  • Leftover stromboli can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to maintain crispness.
