Directions
-
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Start your journey to deliciousness by preheating your oven. This ensures your calzones will bake evenly and come out with that tremendous golden-brown crust we all love.
-
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into rounds. Dust your workspace lightly with flour to prevent sticking. Take your pizza dough and roll it out into even circles, making sure they are about 6-8 inches in diameter. This is crucial for enclosing your savory goodness.
-
Place sliced chicken tenders on one half of each dough round. Arrange the sliced chicken on one side of each rolled-out dough round. This gives you the tremendous opportunity to create a flavorful base for your calzone.
-
Add shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese on top of the chicken. Now, sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella over the chicken. Follow it up with that rich, salty grated Parmesan. The combination of these cheeses will melt beautifully together.
-
Fold the dough over to create a calzone shape and seal the edges. Carefully fold the other half of the dough over the filling. Pinch the edges together tightly to keep all that delicious filling secure. You want to ensure that every calzone is sealed to lock in those tremendous flavors.
-
Place the calzones on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Bake until the calzones are puffed and golden. The aroma will be absolutely irresistible, filling your kitchen with mouthwatering scents.
-
Serve hot and enjoy! Once out of the oven, let the calzones rest for a few minutes before diving in. Serve with a side of marinara for dipping, if desired, and enjoy every tremendous bite!
