Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli Calzones
Cheesy chicken and broccoli calzones are gooey bites of pizza-like goodness that are easy to make and enjoy!
Servings: 6 calzones
Ingredients
- 1 to 2 cups cooked chicken or turkey shredded
- 2 cups broccoli steamed and roughly chopped
- 2 cup shredded cheese such as sharp cheddar
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 batch homemade pizza dough or 2 pounds store-bought pizza dough
Instructions
- Mix the chicken, broccoli, cheese, onions, and spices together in a bowl.
- Divide dough into 6 equal parts. Roll each part into a 8- to 9-inch circle.
- Put about a 1/2-cup of filling in the middle of each circle, favoring one side.
- Dip your finger in water, and wet the edge of the dough on half of the circle. Fold the dough over, covering all the guts.
- Use a fork to press the two dough halves together.
- Place on a greased baking sheet or on a baking stone. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 25 to 30 minutes, until tops are golden-brown.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- If you want the crust extra pretty, whisk together 1 egg yolk and 1 tablespoon water, and brush it on the top of the dough before baking.
- This recipe is very flexible -- feel free to add more or less of something.
- You can also use this recipe as the base and fill it up with your favorite pizza topping combos!
- Don't forget to cut a slit or two in the top of each calzone to let the steam escape while baking.
