Recipe

Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 35 mins Ready Time: 55 mins


• preheat oven to 410 degrees f (210 degrees c). grease a pizza pan.
• place chicken into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. cook the chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees f (74 degrees c). transfer chicken to a bowl and shred with two forks.
• melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. cook and stir chicken and buffalo wing sauce in the hot butter until chicken is coated and heated through, 2 to 4 minutes.
• turn pizza dough out a generously floured surface. roll dough into a 12-inch round. brush dough with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and spread 1 cup mozzarella cheese in the center of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. spread chicken mixture over cheese; top chicken mixture with remaining 1 cup cheese.
• fold pizza dough in half and pinch edges together to seal. transfer calzone to prepared pizza pan and brush top with remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
• bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, 17 to 20 minutes.
