Chicken Parmesan Calzones
Chicken Parmesan Calzones are a delicious and easy-to-make Italian dish that is perfect for any occasion. These calzones are filled with tender chicken, tangy marinara sauce, and gooey mozzarella cheese, all wrapped up in a crispy, golden-brown crust.
To make four servings of Chicken Parmesan Calzones, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
To start, preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Roll out the pizza dough into four equal-sized circles, about 1/4 inch thick. Spread a quarter cup of marinara sauce onto each circle, leaving a small border around the edges.
Next, sprinkle a half cup of shredded mozzarella cheese onto each circle, followed by a half cup of cooked and shredded chicken. Sprinkle a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese onto each circle, and then fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape. Use a fork to crimp the edges of the calzones closed.
Brush the tops of the calzones with olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bake the calzones for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
When the calzones are finished baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Cut each calzone in half and serve with additional marinara sauce for dipping.
These Chicken Parmesan Calzones are the perfect combination of crispy, cheesy, and savory. They make a great appetizer or main course, and are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
