Before You Begin
We used rotisserie chicken for this recipe, but it also works well with any kind of leftover chicken.
Instructions
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 475 degrees. Line baking sheet with foil and brush foil with 1 tablespoon oil. Combine chicken, mozzarella, blue cheese, hot sauce, and pepper in bowl.
- Divide pizza dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll and stretch each piece of dough into 8-inch circle on lightly floured counter. Spread 1 cup chicken mixture on bottom half of each dough round, leaving 1-inch border around edges. Fold top half of dough over filling and crimp edges to seal. Cut two 1-inch slits on tops of calzones and transfer to prepared sheet.
- Brush tops of calzones with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Bake until crust is golden brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer sheet to wire rack and let calzones cool for 5 minutes. Serve.
