Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 6 slices Deli ham
- 6 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 12x18 inches. Cut the dough into 6 equal rectangles.
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and dried parsley until smooth. This will be your sauce.
Spread about 2 teaspoons of the cream cheese mixture onto each rectangle of dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Divide the cooked chicken evenly among the rectangles, placing it in the center of each piece of dough. Top each with a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese.
Fold each rectangle in half over the filling to form a pocket, then pinch the edges tightly to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative seal.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush this over the top of each calzone for a golden, shiny finish.
Place the calzones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the calzones are golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
