Easy Cheat Bar B Que Chicken Calzones Recipes

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.
• Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until browned to your liking. Cool for a few minutes, then cut each calzone in half. Each serving is half of a calzone. These can be served with additional barbeque sauce if you like.

Steps:

• 1. Place one frozen dinner roll in each cup of a muffin tin. Cover with a light towel and let thaw to room temp and rise slightly.
• 2. Roll each roll out as far as it can go. Make them thin.
• 3. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of your favorite BBQ sauce on 6 of the 12 rolled dough pieces, leaving about 1/4 - 1/2-inch border of dough on the outside.
• 4. Place as much cooked and shredded rotisserie chicken as desired (about 1/4 cup for each calzone).
• 5. Place 1-2 tablespoons of chopped onion over the tops of the chicken.
• 6. Sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of cilantro over the top of the onion. If you don't care for cilantro just skip this step.
• 7. Sprinkled with shredded mozzarella cheese. I like cheese so I use 1/4 cup on each.
• 8. Make sure none of the filling touches 1/4-1/2 inch dough border you left around the outside of your 6 calzones. Place a rolled out dough on top of each of your calzones and seal it up. Make sure it is sealed TIGHTLY so that none of the filling leaks out.
• 9. Place the 6 calzones on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until golden in color.
• 10. We like to dip ours in garlic ranch dressing. But, you don't need to dip them in anything as they are good on their own!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Sprinkle flour on a wooden cutting board and roll out 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.
• Use a pastry brush to paint the egg wash over the dough.
• Slice breathing slits into the top of the calzone.
