Barbecue Chicken Calzones Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Fry bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan, blot with paper towels and crumble.
• Add onion and shredded chicken to a pan with olive oil. Saute over medium heat until onion is tender. Stir in 1/2 cup barbecue sauce and remove from heat. Mix in crumbled bacon.
• Flatten out biscuit dough on a greased cookie sheet. Spread a teaspoon of barbecue sauce on each biscuit. Divide the chicken mixture between the biscuits, spreading on only half of each biscuit and keeping 1/2 inch away from the edge.
• Sprinkle cheese and cilantro over top of each biscuit.
• Fold biscuits in half and press the edges together with a fork to seal.
• Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Serve with additional barbecue sauce for dipping.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Sprinkle flour on a wooden cutting board and roll out dough.
• Add 1/2 cup of cooked cubed chicken marinated in barbecue sauce on on side of the dough.
• Top the chicken with 1/2 cup of mozzarella and 2 tablespoons of ricotta.
• Fold over the dough and seal the edges.
• Mix up 1 egg with a splash of water.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Fry bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove from the pan to drain on paper towels; crumble. Add the onion and shredded chicken to the hot bacon grease in the pan. Fry over medium heat until onion is tender. Stir in 1/3 cup of barbeque sauce, and remove from the heat. Mix in the cooked bacon.
• Roll the pizza crust dough out onto a greased cookie sheet. Press out to an even thickness, and then cut in half. Divide the chicken mixture between the two pieces of dough, spreading on only half of each piece to within 1/2 inch of the edge. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the filling. Sprinkle the cheese and cilantro over the top. Fold the uncovered portion of dough over the filling, and press the edges together with a fork to seal.

• Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece on a lightly floured work surface into a 6-inch circle. Spread 1/4 of the spinach mixture over the bottom half of each dough circle. Top each with 1/4 of the mozzarella cheese. Fold dough over filling to form half-moons and crimp edges to seal. Coat well with cooking spray.
