Spicy Buffalo Chicken Calzone
Ingredients
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup Buffalo wing sauce
  • 1 refrigerated pizza dough
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
1
Firstly, heat your oven to the required temperature of 410 degrees F (210 degrees C).
2
Next, prepare a pizza pan by coating it with a non-stick substance to prevent the dough from sticking.
3
Now, place boneless chicken into a large pot and submerge it in salted water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. This should take around 15 minutes. Use a thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
4
Once cooked, transfer the shredded chicken to a bowl and use two forks to break it down into smaller pieces.
5
Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shredded chicken and Buffalo wing sauce to the hot butter, stirring constantly until the mixture is well-coated and heated through. This should take around 2 to 4 minutes.
6
Now, roll out pizza dough on a surface dusted with flour to the desired size of 12 inches. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and shape it into a round.
7
Brush the dough with 1 tablespoon of oil, then sprinkle it evenly with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese. Leave a 1-inch border around the edges.
8
Add the chicken mixture on top of the cheese, followed by an additional 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
9
Fold the pizza dough in half and press the edges together to seal the calzone. Place it in the prepared pan, brushing the top with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil.
10
Finally, bake the calzone in the preheated oven until it reaches a golden brown crust, taking around 17 to 20 minutes.
