Pizza Calzone Recipes

What is a good Chicken Calzone Recipe?

Does anyone have a good recipe for chicken calzone. No pizza sauce maybe Alfredo sauce or something else? Any ideas would be great (:

I make pepperoni, sausage, and green chili calzones, but have never made or had them with a chicken filling. Here are a couple recipes that look quite yummy, and I am going to have to give chicken filling a try ;)


CHICKEN, CHEESE, AND BROCCOLI CALZONE

1 (10 ounce) package frozen broccoli, thawed and chopped coarse

2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1/4 cup pesto sauce
salt
black pepper
flour, for counter
1 lb pizza dough
2 tablespoons olive oil
kosher salt

1. Position oven rack in middle position; preheat to 450°.

2. Pat broccoli dry and toss with mozzarella, chicken, and pesto; season to taste with salt and pepper.

3. On a floured counter, roll out dough to 12-inch round, about ¼ inch thick.

4. Mound filling over half of dough, leaving a 1-inch border around edge.

5. Brush edges of dough with water.

6. Fold other half of dough over filling and press edges to seal.

7. Grease baking sheet with 1 tablespoon oil; slide wide spatula under calzone and tranfer to baking sheet.

8. Use sharp knife or kitchen shears to cut 5 slits diagonally across top.

9. Brush remaining oil over top and sprinkle with coarse salt.

10. Bake 15-20 minutes, until golden.
