Ingredients
1 pound (450 g) pizza dough
1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
1 cup Alfredo sauce
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ cup fresh spinach, chopped
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Flour, for dusting
Olive oil, for brushing
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour your work surface. Divide pizza dough into four equal portions and roll each into an 8-inch (20 cm) circle.
In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and chopped spinach. Mix until evenly coated.
Spoon filling onto one half of each dough circle, leaving a small border around the edges.
Fold dough over to create a half-moon shape. Press edges firmly together, then crimp with a fork to seal tightly.
Place calzones on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with beaten egg for a golden finish. Cut a small slit on top of each to release steam.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving — the filling will be very hot inside.
Notes
Allow calzones to cool slightly before cutting to prevent the filling from spilling out.
For a lighter option, use whole-wheat dough and reduced-fat cheese.
Add fresh basil or parsley for extra flavor.
Serve with warm marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
