Chicken Parmigiana Calzone

Step 1: Sprinkle flour over the cutting board or counter to prevent dough from sticking.

Step 2: Roll dough. If it’s too difficult to roll, pick it up and massage with your hands. Try rolling again.

Step 3: I like to pretend I have already stuffed the calzone to estimate size. Fold dough over (without the ends touching) to approximate length. Cut or continue rolling when dough is desired thickness and length.

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Step 2: Once dough is rolled to desired size, add cheese to only half of the calzone. Remember, you are going to be folding one side over the other. Also, leave ½ inch perimeter for pinching closed later.

Step 3: Next, add chicken pieces.

Step 4: Then, add sauce and a bit more cheese.

Step 5: Fold. Once folded into calzone shape, start scoring the edges of your calzone with tines of a fork.

Step 6: Melt buttery spread. Add fresh parsley, garlic, and spices.

Step 7: Brush or spoon, buttery spread mixture over top of calzone. This creates a delicious “garlic knot” crust.

Step 8: Cut 2 slits into top to allow ventilation.

Step 9: Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 10: With a spatula, transfer calzone.

Step 11: Bake for 10-15 minutes.

Step 12: Cool approximately 5 minutes before cutting in half.

Step 13: Enjoy!
