Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 strips bacon
1/2 cup diced red onion
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (cooked and shredded)
1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 (16 ounce) bottle barbecue sauce (divided)
1 (16.3 ounce) package refrigerated biscuits
1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
2 Tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Fry bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan, blot with paper towels and crumble.
  • Add onion and shredded chicken to a pan with olive oil. Saute over medium heat until onion is tender. Stir in 1/2 cup barbecue sauce and remove from heat. Mix in crumbled bacon.
  • Flatten out biscuit dough on a greased cookie sheet. Spread a teaspoon of barbecue sauce on each biscuit. Divide the chicken mixture between the biscuits, spreading on only half of each biscuit and keeping 1/2 inch away from the edge.
  • Sprinkle cheese and cilantro over top of each biscuit.
  • Fold biscuits in half and press the edges together with a fork to seal.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Serve with additional barbecue sauce for dipping.

I'm not a fan of calzones, but these were actually pretty good. The dough was crispy and the filling was flavorful. I would definitely make these again.

These calzones were a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also liked that I could customize the filling to my own liking.

The dough was a bit too thick for my liking, but the filling was delicious. I would try making these again with a thinner dough.

These calzones were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them more if I had used a more flavorful cheese or added some spices to the filling.

I followed the recipe exactly and the calzones came out perfect. The dough was fluffy and the filling was flavorful. I served them with a side of marinara sauce and they were a hit!

These calzones were easy to make and turned out great! I used rotisserie chicken instead of grilled chicken and they were still delicious. I also added some extra vegetables to the filling, like spinach and mushrooms.

I've made these calzones twice now and they've been a success both times. The recipe is easy to follow and the results are delicious. I especially love the crispy dough and the savory filling.

These calzones were a hit with my family! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. The dough was crispy and golden brown. I will definitely be making these again!
