Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups shredded roast chicken
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/2 cup chopped roasted red peppers, drained
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound refrigerated pizza dough, at room temperature
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Warm marinara sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450˚. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the chicken, mozzarella, spinach, roasted red peppers, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl.
  • Divide the pizza dough into 4 pieces; keep covered with plastic wrap until ready to use. Working with 1 piece at a time, roll the dough into a ball and dust with flour, then roll into a 7-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Spoon one-quarter of the chicken mixture on one side of the dough round, then fold the dough over the filling and crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
  • Brush the calzones with the beaten egg and make a few slits in the top of each with a paring knife. Bake until the calzones are golden and puffed, about 25 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes. Serve with marinara sauce.

Overall, I thought the chicken spinach calzones were pretty good. The filling was tasty and the dough was cooked well. However, I thought they were a bit too greasy. I would probably use less butter next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the calzones turned out perfectly. They were golden brown and crispy on the outside, and the filling was moist and flavorful. I served them with a side of marinara sauce and they were a hit with my family.
