Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- Add the chicken and 2 1/2 cups of the Monterey Jack cheese to a large bowl and toss together. Set aside.
- Heat the butter, enchilada sauce and hot sauce and in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter melts. Remove from the heat. Transfer 1 cup of the sauce to the bowl with the chicken. Toss to fully coat.
- Ladle 1/2 cup of the sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread a heaping 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture evenly onto a tortilla, then roll it up.

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture. Pour the remaining sauce over the tortillas and sprinkle the remaining Monterey Jack cheese on top.

Tips:
- Use a sharp knife to cut the chicken breasts into thin strips. This will help them cook evenly.
- Be sure to coat the chicken strips in the flour mixture before frying them. This will help them get crispy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken. This will cause the chicken to steam instead of fry.
- Cook the chicken strips until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Use a good quality mozzarella cheese for the calzone filling. This will help it melt evenly and give the calzone a gooey, cheesy center.
- Be careful not to overfill the calzone. This will make it difficult to seal and may cause it to burst open during baking.
- Bake the calzone until it is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve the calzone immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
