• Mustard or Dijon — optional spread for tang.
• Salt, pepper, garlic powder — simple seasoning.

Short description: Keep ingredients straightforward. This recipe belongs in the Country Home Cooked Meals hall of fame—familiar, cozy, and reliably delicious.

Simple how-to (quick & clean)

1. Prep the chicken: Pound breasts thin, season.
2. Bread the chicken: Dredge in flour → egg → breadcrumbs; pan-fry quickly until golden (you want cooked but not overdone).
3. Assemble: Roll out pizza dough, spread a thin layer of mustard, layer ham, top with Swiss, place breaded chicken, fold into a stromboli log and seal.
4. Egg wash & score: Brush with egg for shine; score the top for steam escape.
5. Bake: 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes until golden and the cheese bubbles.
6. Rest & slice: Let it rest 5–10 minutes, then slice.

Pro tip: Chill for 15 minutes before slicing to keep ooze under control.

The story behind the recipe

I love mashups—someone once asked, “What if Cordon Bleu met pizza night?” So I experimented. A few burnt edges and one glorious cheese pull later, this stromboli was born. It merged my love for Lunch Recipes For Company (easy to scale) and the joy of European Comfort Food without the fussy plating. FYI: your kitchen will smell like heaven.

Pro tips for the best outcome

• Pound the chicken evenly — no one wants a thick cold center.
• Don’t overfill the dough — less is more unless you want a cheese lava flow (tempting, but messy).
• Seal the seams well — use a little water on the edge to glue it shut.
• Egg wash = glossy, golden crust — don’t skip.
• Cook chicken first — this avoids underdone meat after baking. Safety first.

Variations to try

• Mini stromboli party: Make smaller logs for easy sharing — perfect for Lunch Recipes For Company.
• Chicken Strudel Recipe twist: Swap pizza dough for puff pastry for a flakier shell — hello, elevated vibes.
• Add spinach & artichoke for a veggie kick.
• Swap Swiss for Gruyère for nuttier flavor.
• Go spicy: add cayenne to breadcrumbs or toss in pepper jack.

Best way to serve

Slice thick for a main dish, thin for appetizers. Pair with a crisp salad, pickles, or a tangy mustard-mayo dip. For a true Country Home Cooked Meals experience, serve with buttery roasted veggies and a cold beer or a cozy glass of white wine. Want to impress? Plate with a lemony arugula salad—contrast is everything.

Quick tips for storage and leftovers

• Refrigerate leftover slices in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Reheat in a 350°F oven (10–12 minutes) to revive crust crispiness.
• Freeze assembled, unbaked stromboli: wrap tightly and freeze up to 2 months. Bake from frozen—add 10–15 minutes to the bake time.
  Pro tip: Avoid microwaving; it makes the crust soggy.
