Ingredients

  • 0.3 cup buffalo wing sauce 
  • tablespoons butter 
  •  pizza dough refrigerated
  • cups mozzarella cheese shredded
  • pound chicken breast halves boneless skinless
  • tablespoons vegetable oil divided

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • oven
  • pizza pan
  • pot
  • kitchen thermometer

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 410 degrees F (210 degrees C). Grease a pizza pan.
  2. Place chicken into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Cook the chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  3. Transfer chicken to a bowl and shred with two forks.
  4. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chicken and Buffalo wing sauce in the hot butter until chicken is coated and heated through, 2 to 4 minutes.
  5. Turn pizza dough out onto a generously floured surface.
  6. Roll dough into a 12-inch round.
  7. Brush dough with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and spread 1 cup mozzarella cheese in the center of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
  8. Spread chicken mixture over cheese; top chicken mixture with remaining 1 cup cheese.
  9. Fold pizza dough in half and pinch edges together to seal.
  10. Transfer calzone to prepared pizza pan and brush top with remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
  11. Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, 17 to 20 minutes.
