Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 25 minutesIngredients:
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions: How to Cook Chicken Parm Calzone
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a large circle or rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, basil, garlic powder, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Spread the chicken mixture evenly over half of the rolled-out dough, leaving a border around the edges.
- Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Use a fork to crimp the edges and seal the calzone.
- Brush the top of the calzone with olive oil and make a few small slits on the top to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Transfer the calzone to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious Chicken Parm Calzone!
