Instructions

Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Dough:
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 12×14 inches. Make sure the dough is evenly spread to hold the filling.
Assemble the Stromboli:
In a small bowl, mix Dijon mustard and mayonnaise (if using). Spread this mixture evenly over the dough, leaving about 1 inch from the edges.
Layer the Swiss cheese and cooked chicken evenly across the dough.
Roll and Seal the Stromboli:
Fold in the sides of the dough and roll it tightly from one long edge to the other, sealing the seams and ends to form a log. Pinch the edges well to prevent the filling from spilling out during baking.
Add Toppings:
Place the stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top with melted butter, then sprinkle with garlic powder, dried parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake the Stromboli:
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on it to avoid over-browning.
Serve:
Let the stromboli cool for 5 minutes before slicing it into generous pieces. Serve warm with honey mustard, marinara sauce, or a side salad.
