✅ Ingredients

For the Chicken Alfredo Filling

• 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)

• 1 cup heavy cream

• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

• 2 tbsp butter

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• ½ tsp Italian seasoning

• Salt & black pepper, to taste

For the Dough

• 1 package active dry yeast (about 2 ¼ tsp)

• 1 cup warm water

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

• 1 tsp salt

• 1 tsp sugar

For Assembly

• ¼ cup shredded mozzarella (for topping)

• Olive oil (for brushing)

• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

• Marinara sauce, for dipping

📖 Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough

1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let sit 5 minutes until foamy.

2. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough forms.

3. Knead on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise 1–2 hours until doubled in size.

2. Make the Chicken Alfredo Filling

1. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

2. Pour in heavy cream, bring to a simmer. Stir in Parmesan, mozzarella, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until sauce thickens, 3–5 minutes.

3. Stir in shredded chicken. Cook 2 minutes more. Remove from heat.

3. Assemble the Calzones

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.

2. Punch down dough, divide into 4 equal portions. Roll each into a 6–8 inch circle.

3. Spoon chicken Alfredo filling onto one side of each circle. Fold dough over filling and pinch edges to seal (crimp with fork for extra hold).

4. Place on baking sheet. Brush tops with olive oil and sprinkle mozzarella.

4. Bake & Serve

1. Bake 20–25 minutes until golden brown and cheese is bubbly.

2. Garnish with parsley. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

🌟 Tips & Variations

• Shortcut Dough: Use store-bought pizza dough for quicker prep.

• Extra Veggies: Add spinach, mushrooms, or broccoli to the filling.

• Cheese Lovers: Swap Swiss, provolone, or gouda for variety.

• Freezer Friendly: Assemble calzones, freeze unbaked, then bake directly from frozen (add 5–8 mins).

❄️ Storage

• Fridge: Keep leftovers in an airtight container up to 3 days.

• Freezer: Wrap baked calzones in foil, freeze up to 2 months. Reheat at 350°F until warm.

💌 Final Notes

These Chicken Alfredo Calzones are creamy, cheesy, and downright irresistible. With a buttery crust and hearty filling, they’re a guaranteed hit at family dinners or game nights.
