CHICKEN CORDON BLEU CALZONES
From: Kellie Hammerly @ www.recipegirl.com/
These easy Chicken Cordon Bleu Calzones are loaded with shredded chicken, melty swiss cheese and ham for an easy dinner the whole family will love. Simple to prepare and can be frozen for quick meals on the fly.
If you’re not familiar with Chicken Cordon Bleu, it’s basically a chicken breast stuffed with ham and swiss before being baked and devoured. I just went one step further and stuffed it into my homemade pizza dough stromboli style making it absolutely perfect for game day. You can even freeze them after assembly for an easy weeknight dinner. Leftover chicken from your Sunday dinner or a rotisserie chicken make this even quicker to throw together.
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 15 min
Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS:
16 ounces pizza dough
4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
8 slices deli Swiss cheese
8 slices deli ham
2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
1/4 cup cornmeal
1 large Eggland's Best egg, lightly beaten
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Divide the dough into four equal pieces.
Roll or stretch the dough into a 6 to 8 inch oval.
Brush the surface of the dough with the Dijon mustard-- leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Layer two slices of cheese, two slices of ham and 1/2 cup shredded chicken on the dough leaving a 1 inch border around the edges.
Fold the dough over the chicken and press the edges together to seal.
Pinch tightly to avoid the cheese leaking out during baking.
Repeat with the remaining dough and other ingredients.
Place the calzones on a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal.
Brush the surface of the calzones with the egg.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
Serve immediately.
Cooks Note:
To freeze: Assemble the calzones as instructed (up to line 5) and place on a clean baking sheet. Freeze for 4 hours and then wrap individually in plastic wrap. Wrap again in foil and store in the freezer for up to 2 months.
