Ingredients

For calzone:

Cooking spray
2 reserved chicken breast halves, diced, about 2 cups
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
2/3 cup reserved tomato sauce
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 pound fresh or frozen pizza or bread dough, thawed according to package directions
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan

For dip:

1 cup sour cream
1/3 cup blue cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine chicken, cheese, tomato sauce, liquid smoke, and hot sauce. Mix well and set aside.

Roll dough out, using a rolling pin, to a 12-inch circle. Spread chicken mixture over half of circle, to within 1-inch of the edge. Fold over untopped side so that it meets the other side, forming a half moon. Pinch the edges together to seal.

Transfer calzone to prepared baking sheet and brush the top with olive oil. Sprinkle the top with Parmesan. Using a sharp knife, make a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape during cooking. Bake 15 minutes, until puffed up and golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

For dip:

While the calzone is baking, in a small bowl, combine sour cream, blue cheese and chives.

Serve calzone sliced with sour cream dip on the side.

Robin Miller doesn't know what a Calzone is
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I don't mind incorporating new flavors into a traditional calzone, but at least prepare it like a calzone. This is litle... more than a turnover. This would be much better if instead of just mixing the cheese, sauce and chicken all together, you should layer the 3 ingredients in the calzone. This would be much better. as well as more in keeping with what a calzone is. Read more

Use COOKED CHICKEN
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

You don't want to use raw chicken. There is not enough cooking time for the Calzone for raw chicken to cook!

Doesnt taste like buffalo sauce at all!
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I tasted the filling just before adding it to the pizza dough and realized that it really didn't taste anything like buffalo... chicken - I'm sure its good that way but not what I was looking for. I added my own buffalo sauce to the mixture and it tasted much more like the real thing - I'd suggest making your own or buying some and replacing the called-for sauce with that. The dipping sauce was very good.Read more

SO POPULAR!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this the other night with leftover chickn at a friends house, and it was fantastic! Can be used with any chicken. ... Everyone loved it. I used Ken's bottled chicken wing sauce instead of what the recipe called for because I couldn't find liquid smoke and didn't want to mess with the buffalo flavor. I also got the pizza dough from a pizzeria instead of frozen (I'm in Brooklyn, so the pizza here is the best). I highly recommend this recipe, and will be using it over and over. It was so easy!Read more
