Ingredients
  

For the Stromboli
  • 1 lb store-bought pizza dough at room temperature
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 1 lb total, pounded
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 0.25 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 6 slices thin deli ham about 4 oz
  • 8 slices Swiss cheese about 6 oz
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
For the Topping
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 0.5 tsp dried parsley
  • 0.25 tsp paprika
  • Flaky sea salt for finishing

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Rolling Pin
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. Season and cook chicken breasts in olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through, 5-7 mins per side. Let rest, then dice.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment. Mix Dijon mustard and thyme in a bowl.
  3. On a floured surface, roll pizza dough into a 12x16 inch rectangle. Spread mustard mixture over dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
  4. Layer ham slices, diced chicken, Swiss cheese slices, and shredded mozzarella evenly over the mustard.
  5. Tightly roll the dough from the long side, jelly-roll style. Pinch seam and ends to seal. Place seam-side down on prepared sheet.
  6. Score the top with 4-5 shallow slits. Brush entire surface with beaten egg. Mix Parmesan, parsley, and paprika; sprinkle over top. Finish with flaky salt.
  7. Bake for 22-28 minutes until crust is deep golden brown. Let rest on the sheet for 10 minutes before slicing with a serrated knife. Serve warm.

Notes

Letting the stromboli rest after baking is crucial for clean slices. Reheat leftovers in a toaster oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
