Chicken Parmesan Calzone Recipe

The only calzone recipe you’ll ever need—a chicken parm calzone filled with crispy chicken, Parmesan, and mozzarella cheeses.
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)
  • 8 ounce bag shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 3/4 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • flour for dough

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 strips and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, roll out the dough into a 12 inch circle, like you would pizza crust.
  • Choose one half, and spread 1/2 cup of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a one inch border around the edge. Top the same half with 1 cup mozzarella cheese, all parmesan cheese, and chicken tenders.
  • 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 top with melted butter. Use a knife to pierce three 1/2 inch slits in the top of the calzone. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the calzone from the oven and top evenly (again leaving a 1 inch crust around the edges) with 1/4 cup pizza sauce and about 1/2 a cup of mozzarella cheese. Bake for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, let cool for 5-7 minutes, and slice into strips for serving.
