Chicken Cordon Bleu Stromboli

For those not in the know, strombolis are a little like Italian burritos! You generally roll cold cuts, cheese, and other goodies inside bread dough and bake it. The results? A delicious meal that’s amazing for lunch, dinner, or even brunch!! I’ve even had mini stromboli slices as snacks … don’t tell anyone.😉

Strombolis don’t come from Italy, from what I’ve read. They’re an Italian-American invention! And in the spirit of American fusion food, I wanted to share with you my Chicken Cordon Bleu Stromboli today. Chicken Cordon Bleu involves breading and baking or frying cheese inside of chicken! Cordon Bleu can also use ham or veal. You tend to see it served with mustard, too.

So we’re putting all the ingredients of a Chicken Cordon Bleu inside of a stromboli. It’s something I didn’t know would work, but y’all, it does. In this recipe, we’ll even include a bit of mustard inside the stromboli with the ham, cheese, and chicken! It’s amazing!!

If you need a new recipe for game day, this is your recipe! It’s so simple and filling – great for snacking on during game day!

I’m always looking for efficient and economical dishes that reuse food I already have, and this is one of those recipes that just worked out! I’m so glad it came out well, and I’m sure you’ll love it. Enjoy!

Stromboli Recipe: Ingredients & Substitutions

For this Chicken Cordon Bleu Stromboli, you will need …

Ingredients

• bread dough – I usually get the frozen type and thaw it out for this, but you can make something homemade, too. You’ll need a loaf! 
• ham and chicken – chopped and cooked. Use leftovers if you have them for a fantastic economical dinner! You can even throw breaded chicken strips into your stromboli, they still taste good reused like this!
• swiss cheese – the perfect cheese to pair with ham and chicken, especially in a stromboli.
• dijon mustard – for extra flavor!! The standard chicken cordon bleu condiment. You’ll put this in the stromboli but you may want some as a dipping sauce too.

NOTE: While the recipe says to eat it right away (that is to say, hot), you can also eat it at room temperature. Still very good!

Cook ModePrevent your screen from going dark

Instructions 

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a large baking sheet and set it aside.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the bread dough into a 14×10 rectangle. Spread the Dijon mustard down the middle of the bread the long way, leaving about 1-inch on both ends. Top evenly with chicken, ham, and cheese. Roll up jelly-roll style from the long side and pinch seams to seal. Carefully transfer to the greased baking sheet, seam-side down, and tuck the ends under. Cover and let rise for about 15-20 minutes.
• Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
• Remove from oven. Allow the bread to cool 5 minutes before slicing and serving!

Notes

• You can use pizza dough in place of the bread dough if you prefer.
• I don't use an egg wash for this recipe but you can if you want to. It will make your stromboli a nice and shiny golden brown color.
• Not a fan of Swiss cheese? Provolone is good, as well as Parmesan. I imagine mozzarella would be tasty, too. Any Italian cheese!!
• Dijon mustard is what makes this recipe for Chicken Cordon Bleu Stromboli, in my opinion. However, you can leave it out, and you don’t have to use it as a dipping sauce. Some folks in my family love Ranch dressing inside of the stromboli instead!!
