Description
Baked Chicken Alfredo Calzones are the ultimate fusion of two beloved Italian dishes – the classic calzone and the creamy, indulgent Alfredo sauce. Imagine a pillowy soft dough pocket, filled to the brim with tender chicken, rich Alfredo sauce, and melty mozzarella cheese.
Ingredients
- Pizza or calzone dough
- Cooked chicken breast
- Alfredo sauce
- Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Garlic powder
- Italian seasoning
- Olive oil
- Egg (for egg wash)
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Divide the pizza dough into 4 equal portions and roll each into a circle about 6 inches wide.
3. In a bowl, combine cooked chicken, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
4. Spoon the mixture onto each dough circle, fold over, and seal the edges with a fork.
5. Brush the tops with an egg wash and drizzle with olive oil.
6. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
Serve with extra Alfredo sauce or marinara for dipping.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
Freeze unbaked calzones for up to 2-3 months, adding extra baking time when cooking from frozen.
