Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Roll out dough on a floured surface. Cut the dough into four equal parts and roll each piece of dough into a small circle.
- Sprinkle the garlic evenly over each of the circles. Top each piece of dough with spinach, onions, mushrooms, chicken, and feta cheese.
- Fold dough over filling to create a half-circle. Pinch the edges of each circle to seal closed. Place on a greased baking sheet and brush with olive oil.
- Bake the calzones for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Notes
- CAN YOU FREEZE CALZONES?
- Yes! To freeze baked calzones, allow the leftover calzones to cool completely before wrapping tightly with plastic wrap or foil. Store the individually wrapped calzones in a large Ziploc freezer bag for up to 3 months.
- When you're ready to reheat the calzones, you can thaw them in the refrigerator overnight and then bake, uncovered, in an oven or toaster oven at 300 degrees F until heated through. You can also reheat the calzones in a microwave on high power in 30-second increments until warmed through.
- If you prefer to reheat a frozen calzone directly from the freezer, you will simply need to extend the baking time.
- COOK'S TIPS AND RECIPE VARIATIONS:
- Any kind of cooked chicken will work well in this recipe -- including grilled chicken, smoked chicken, pulled chicken, store-bought rotisserie chicken, or those pre-cooked chicken strips like Perdue Short Cuts or Tyson Grilled & Ready Chicken.
- Make a vegetarian calzone recipe by omitting the chicken and adding some ricotta cheese, additional mushrooms, or some drained, rinsed beans instead.
- Turn this into a cheese calzone recipe by using a variety of cheeses in lieu of or in addition to the feta. Other nice options include ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, Gouda cheese, and/or shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Prepare a sausage calzone recipe by swapping out the chicken and replacing it with cooked, crumbled Italian sausage.
- Make a pepperoni calzone recipe by swapping out the chicken and replacing it with diced pepperoni. You might also want to use shredded mozzarella or ricotta cheese in lieu of the feta.
- You can assemble these spinach calzones in advance and keep them on a tray in the refrigerator until you're ready to bake them.
