Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can Pillsbury Grands! refrigerated crescent rolls
- 2 cups Cooked chicken (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons Creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Grated fresh ginger (or ginger paste)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 cup Shredded carrot
- 0.5 cup Chopped green onions
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 large Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, peanut butter, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, lime juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, shredded carrot, green onions, cilantro, and sesame oil. Mix everything thoroughly until evenly combined.
Open the can of Pillsbury Grands! crescent rolls and separate the dough into 8 individual triangles.
Take one triangle of dough and slightly flatten it using your hands or a rolling pin to create a larger triangle. Place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture onto the center of the dough.
Carefully fold the dough over the filling to form a calzone, pressing the edges together to seal tightly. Use the tines of a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative finish.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough triangles and chicken mixture.
Place the prepared calzones onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them out evenly.
Brush the tops of the calzones with the beaten egg to ensure a golden and glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the calzones are puffed up and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the calzones cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a side of sweet chili dipping sauce, if desired.
