Chicken Broccoli Calzones Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 20 min.

Yield: 4 Servings

20 20 40

Ingredients

3 cups frozen chopped broccoli
1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
1/2 pound smoked mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
1/3 cup golden raisins
1 loaf (1 pound) frozen bread dough, thawed
1 egg
1 tablespoon water

Directions

Cook broccoli according to package directions; drain. Sprinkle with sage; set aside. In a large saucepan, saute onion in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Remove from the heat. Stir in the broccoli, chicken, cheese, basil and raisins; set aside.
On a lightly floured surface, divide dough into four pieces. Roll each piece into a 10-in. circle. Carefully place one circle on a lightly greased baking sheet. Spoon a fourth of the chicken mixture onto half of the circle. Brush edges of dough with water; fold dough over filling and pinch edges to seal. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
With a sharp knife, make two slashes on each calzone. Beat egg and water; brush over calzones. Bake at 400° for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 4 calzones.

The combination of broccoli, chicken, and golden raisins was great. But of the four adults who tried this, we all agreed it was too dry and needed a white sauce or something to add to the filling. I don't think I will make this again as I found it to be time consuming as well..
