Luncheon Grilled Chicken Spinach Calzone Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Make the Dough

   In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

2. 2

   Prepare the Filling

   In a skillet over medium heat, sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted. In a bowl, combine the sautéed spinach, grilled chicken, ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

3. 3

   Assemble the Calzones

   Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a circle about 8 inches in diameter. Place a portion of the filling on one half of the circle, leaving a border. Fold the other half over and pinch the edges to seal. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.

4. 4

   Bake the Calzones

   Place calzones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
