Buffalo Chicken Calzone Recipe

A simple and incredibly delicious buffalo chicken calzone made with crispy chicken, mozzarella cheese, and buffalo sauce.
Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time30 minutes
Total Time45 minutes
Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: Italian
Servings: 1

Ingredients

  • 16-20 ounces pizza dough
  • 6-7 fully cooked crispy chicken tenders sliced (I like Tyson Crispy Chicken Strips)
  • 1/2 medium red onion thinly sliced
  • 8 ounce bag shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/3 cup buffalo sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • flour for dough
  • Blue cheese dressing for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 °F. If using frozen chicken tenders, cook them ahead of time according to the directions on the package. Slice into smaller bite-sized peices and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle, like you would pizza crust.
  • Choose one half, and spread buffalo sauce over the dough, leaving a one inch border around the edge. Top the same half with chicken, red onion, and mozzarella cheese.
  • Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to the opposite edge, forming a half moon shape. Pinch the ends together to seal.
  • Place calzone on a greased baking sheet and baste the entire top with melted butter. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until top of the calzone is slightly golden.
  • Remove from the oven, let cool for 5-7 minutes, and slice into strips for serving. Serve with blue cheese.
