Equipment

  • 1 Sheet Pan

Ingredients
  

  • Premade Pizza Dough I made my own but you can buy the premade store kind
  • 1 Cup Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese
  • 1/3 Cup Caesar Dressing
  • 1/2 Lb Bacon Lazy hack: Use Costco Bacon Bits
  • 1 Lb Chicken I used precooked chicken strips but any chicken will work.
  • Chives Freeze dried work great
  • To Taste Garlic Powder, Salt & Pepper
  • 1 Tbsp Melted Butter or Spray Oil

Instructions
 

  • Turn on the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Then, Roll out your pizza dough and separate into 2-3 servings. I used homemade pizza dough so I was able to get 3 chicken bakes but if you are using the pizza dough out of a can, you'll probably only get 2 per can.
  • Cook bacon in frying pan or oven. I prefer to use the oven for this recipe and cook them for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
  • Cook the chicken per bag instructions and sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic to taste.
  • Once chicken and bacon are cooked and cool to the touch, cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and cut the bacon into small strips.
  • Pour Caesar dressing onto each pizza surface while leaving about 1/2-1 inch around all corners.
  • Sprinkle mozzarella on half of each chicken bake and place chicken, bacon and chives. Only putting the toppings on one side makes it much easier to fold. 
  • Add extra mozzarella and a heavy sprinkle of parmesan. 
  • Fold the calzone in half and roll the edges so that they are sealed. Press with fork around the edges to seal. Spray or brush with butter/oil and sprinkle garlic and parmesan over the top.
  • Cook for 25 minutes at 400. If needed, broil for a few minutes at the end to get extra color.
