Chicken Cordon Bleu Stromboli – A Family Favorite

A Delicious Twist on a Classic Dish

Hey there, friend! If you’re like me, you love a good comfort food recipe that’s simple to make, delicious, and a guaranteed family-pleaser. This Chicken Cordon Bleu Stromboli is exactly that! Imagine all the flavors of traditional chicken cordon bleu wrapped in a golden, flaky crust—sounds amazing, right?

My family goes crazy over this one, and I love that it’s easy enough to whip up on a busy weeknight. Plus, it’s great for parties, game nights, or just when you’re craving something cheesy, warm, and satisfying.

Ingredients You’ll Need

This recipe keeps things simple with store-bought pizza dough (because we’re all about easy cooking here!). Here’s what you need:

• 1 tube (13.8 ounces) refrigerated pizza crust – Any brand works, but Pillsbury is my go-to.
• 4 thin slices deli ham – Get a good-quality ham for extra flavor.
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken – Leftover rotisserie chicken is perfect for this!
• 6 slices Swiss cheese – It melts beautifully and gives that signature cordon bleu flavor.
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted – For that irresistible golden crust.
• Roasted garlic Alfredo sauce (optional) – For dipping! Trust me, it’s worth it.

How to Make Chicken Cordon Bleu Stromboli

Even if you’re not a kitchen pro, I promise this is easy!

1. Preheat & Prep

Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Unroll the pizza dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.

2. Layer the Goodness

• Lay down the ham slices first (this keeps the dough from getting soggy).
• Sprinkle the shredded chicken evenly over the ham.
• Place the Swiss cheese slices on top.

3. Roll It Up

• Start at the long side and roll everything up jelly-roll style.
• Pinch the seam to seal it and tuck the ends underneath.
• Brush the top with melted butter to get that crispy, golden brown finish.

4. Bake & Serve

• Bake for 18-22 minutes or until the crust is deep golden brown.
• Let it sit for 5 minutes before slicing.
• Serve with roasted garlic Alfredo sauce (or your favorite dipping sauce)!

Pro Tips for the Best Stromboli

• Don’t overstuff – Too much filling makes rolling and baking tricky.
• Let it cool before slicing – This helps everything stay together.
• Use a pizza stone – It makes the crust extra crispy!
• Experiment with cheese – Try provolone, mozzarella, or Gruyère for a twist.

FAQs – Answering Your Top Questions

What is Cordon Bleu Sauce Made Of?

A classic cordon bleu sauce is a creamy mix of butter, flour, milk, Dijon mustard, garlic, and Parmesan cheese. You can also add a splash of white wine for extra richness!

What Makes a Stromboli a Stromboli?

Unlike a calzone (which is folded over like a pocket), stromboli is rolled like a log, sealing in all the delicious fillings. It’s usually baked to a crisp, golden perfection.

How Do You Keep Stromboli from Getting Soggy?

• Use deli meat as a barrier (like we did with the ham).
• Don’t use too many wet ingredients.
• Bake on a preheated pizza stone for a crispier bottom.

Yes! You can:

• Assemble it ahead and keep it in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
