Ingredients
Scale
Stromboli Filling
- 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1/2 cup ham, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
Dough and Topping
- 1 refrigerated pizza crust
- 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Dough: Roll out the refrigerated pizza crust directly onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly to your desired size but leaving room for rolling.
- Spread Mustard: Evenly spread the Dijon mustard over the pizza crust, making sure to leave a 1-inch border around the edges to allow for sealing the stromboli later on.
- Add Fillings: Layer the shredded chicken, thinly sliced ham, and shredded Swiss cheese evenly over the mustard-coated crust, distributing the ingredients uniformly for balanced flavor in every bite.
- Roll and Seal: Starting from one of the longer sides, carefully roll up the pizza crust tightly, then pinch the edges together to seal the stromboli, preventing any filling from escaping during baking.
- Egg Wash: Brush the beaten egg evenly over the top of the stromboli to give it a beautiful golden color and help the breadcrumb topping adhere properly.
- Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, combine the Panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the egg-washed stromboli to create a crunchy, flavorful crust.
- Bake: Place the stromboli in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until it turns golden brown and is cooked through, with the cheese melted and the crust crisp.
- Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the stromboli cool for a few minutes to set before slicing into portions and serving warm.
Notes
- For a different flavor profile, try using mozzarella cheese instead of Swiss cheese and add a few slices of avocado for a creamy touch.
- For a spicier version, sprinkle red pepper flakes over the mustard before layering the fillings.
- Using pre-cooked rotisserie chicken can save time without compromising flavor.
- Ensure the edges of the stromboli are well sealed to prevent fillings from leaking during baking.
