Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups shredded roast chicken
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/2 cup chopped roasted red peppers, drained
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound refrigerated pizza dough, at room temperature
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Warm marinara sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450˚. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the chicken, mozzarella, spinach, roasted red peppers, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl.
  • Divide the pizza dough into 4 pieces; keep covered with plastic wrap until ready to use. Working with 1 piece at a time, roll the dough into a ball and dust with flour, then roll into a 7-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Spoon one-quarter of the chicken mixture on one side of the dough round, then fold the dough over the filling and crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
  • Brush the calzones with the beaten egg and make a few slits in the top of each with a paring knife. Bake until the calzones are golden and puffed, about 25 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes. Serve with marinara sauce.

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but these calzones were surprisingly good. The filling was flavorful and the dough was nice and crispy.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my calzones turned out terrible. The dough was too thick and the filling was mushy.

These calzones were a disappointment. The dough was tough and the filling was dry.

The chicken spinach calzones were a great way to use up leftover chicken. They were also a fun and easy meal to make with my kids.
