Ingredients
- 1 refrigerated pizza crust
- 1 1/2 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1/2 cup ham, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sliced ham, shredded Swiss cheese, and Dijon mustard.
3. Roll out the refrigerated pizza crust on a lightly floured surface. Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges. Carefully roll the crust into a tight log, sealing the edges and ends as you go. Gently transfer the seam-side down Stromboli to your prepared baking sheet.
4. In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Brush this flavorful mixture over the top of the Stromboli, then sprinkle the Panko breadcrumbs over the top.
5. Bake the Stromboli for 25-30 minutes, or until it’s golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken filling should reach 165°F. Once it’s done, let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
To avoid any disappointments, be sure to use a high-quality refrigerated pizza crust.
If you have any leftover cooked chicken, feel free to use that instead of starting from scratch.
For a golden-brown crust, don’t forget to brush the Stromboli with the garlic-butter mixture and sprinkle it generously with Panko breadcrumbs.
If you have any leftovers, simply wrap them in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place the Stromboli in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes until warmed through.
