Ingredients You’ll Need

  • Pizza dough- Store-bought saves time. Just split into 4 portions.
  • Chicken – Rotisserie or cooked shredded chicken is so convenient.
  • Alfredo – A quick stovetop alfredo sauce beats jarred.
  • Cheese – Mozzarella for melting, parmesan for flavor.
  • Butter – Essential for achieving a crispy, golden crust.
  • Herbs – Fresh parsley adds brightness.

Assembling the Calzones

  1. Make the alfredo sauce. Simmer cream, garlic, and seasonings until thickened. Let cool.
  2. On a floured surface, stretch each dough portion into a 6-inch round.
  3. Spread alfredo sauce on one half of each round. Top with chicken and mozzarella.
  4. Fold dough over filling and firmly pinch edges closed to seal.
  5. Mix softened butter with chopped parsley. Brush tops of calzones.

Baking to Perfection
