Chicken Cordon Bleu Stromboli

  • 1 pound chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 4 slices ham (preferably honey or black forest)
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese (or Gruyère)
  • 1 sheet refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. 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 breasts for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
    • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice it thinly.
  2. Assemble the Stromboli:
    • Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, about 12×16 inches.
    • Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard and mayonnaise over the dough.
    • Lay out the ham slices evenly over the dough, followed by the Swiss cheese.
    • Arrange the sliced chicken evenly on top of the ham and cheese.
    • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken.
    • Starting from one edge, carefully roll the dough into a log shape, pinching the edges to seal.
  3. Bake the Stromboli:
    • Place the rolled stromboli seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    • Brush the top of the stromboli with the beaten egg to give it a golden finish.
    • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  4. Finish and Serve:
    • Allow the stromboli to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
    • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
    • Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
