Why You’ll Love This Chicken Cordon Bleu Stromboli

This recipe is basically your favorite comfort food in disguise. Think of it like Chicken Cordon Bleu’s fun, laid-back cousin—no pounding, no rolling individual chicken cutlets, no frying. Just flavorful layers of chicken, ham, and Swiss cheese wrapped in pillowy pizza dough and baked to perfection.

• It’s shareable and portable. Perfect for game nights, potlucks, or a cozy movie dinner on the couch.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s everything you need for the ultimate Chicken Cordon Bleu Stromboli:

• 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 cups cooked chicken breast (sliced or shredded)
• 6 slices deli ham
• 6 slices Swiss cheese
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise (optional but so good)
• 1 tbsp melted butter
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

You probably already have most of these in your fridge, which means—yep, this could totally be dinner tonight.

How to Make Chicken Cordon Bleu Stromboli

Let’s break it down step-by-step (because complicated recipes are not welcome here).

1. Preheat the oven

Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or give it a light grease if parchment feels too fancy.

2. Roll out your dough

On a lightly floured surface, roll your pizza dough into a big rectangle—about 12×14 inches. Don’t stress if it’s not a perfect rectangle. This isn’t geometry class.

3. Add that creamy mustard layer

Mix Dijon mustard and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Spread it across the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. This layer brings all the tangy goodness that makes a Cordon Bleu sing.

4. Layer it up

Lay down your Swiss cheese first (it acts as a melty barrier), followed by slices of ham and your cooked chicken. You can use shredded rotisserie chicken to save time—highly recommended if you’re juggling soccer practice and a Zoom meeting.

5. Roll and seal

Fold in the short edges, then roll it up from one long side like you’re rolling a sleeping bag. Pinch the seams and ends to seal everything in.

6. Dress it up

Place your Stromboli seam-side down on the prepared sheet. Brush the top with melted butter and sprinkle on garlic powder, dried parsley, and a generous dusting of Parmesan.

7. Bake!

Pop it in the oven for 25–30 minutes, until the crust is golden and the top has a gentle crunch. Let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing. (Hardest part: waiting.)

8. Serve and swoon

Slice it into thick, satisfying pieces and serve warm. It’s heavenly with a simple green salad or dipping sauces like honey mustard, marinara, or even ranch (we don’t judge here).

Tips to Make It Even Easier

• Use store-bought pizza dough. No shame in that shortcut—it saves time and still tastes amazing.
• Make it ahead. Assemble the Stromboli earlier in the day, then bake it right before dinner.
• Add a veggie. Spinach or caramelized onions tuck in nicely if you want to sneak in a little greenery.
• Freeze leftovers. Reheat in the oven for a crispy crust—microwaving will make it soft, which is fine, but you’ll miss that perfect crunch.

A Little Kitchen Story…

This recipe actually came to life during one of those “what’s-for-dinner” scrambles after a busy day. I had leftover chicken, a sad-looking dough ball in the fridge, and some Swiss I had planned to use for sandwiches that never happened. That night, I threw everything together out of desperation—and voilà. My family loved it so much, it became part of our regular rotation. Now I make it when I want something that feels special but doesn’t take a Herculean effort.
