Ingredients
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup Buffalo wing sauce
- 1 refrigerated pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 410 degrees F (210 degrees C). Grease a 12-inch pizza pan.
- Place chicken into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Cook chicken in boiling water 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). Transfer chicken to a bowl and shred with two forks.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir shredded chicken and Buffalo wing sauce in hot butter until chicken is coated and heated through, 2 to 4 minutes.
- Turn pizza dough out onto a generously floured surface. Roll dough into a 12-inch round. Brush dough with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with 1 cup mozzarella cheese, leaving a 1-inch border. Spread chicken mixture over cheese; top with remaining 1 cup cheese.
- Fold pizza dough in half and pinch edges together to seal. Transfer calzone to the prepared pan and brush the top with remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, 17 to 20 minutes.

So good! My entire family loves this dish! It’s an easy and somewhat quick meal. I usually serve this with some type of side salad. Very satisfying.
Simple and delicious!
This was great. I used “Frank’s Wing Sauce” (and a little bit more than what the recipe called for). I added a little cream cheese also. I made homemade pizza dough because although I’m not opposed to the canned biscuits or crescent rolls, I think the refrigerated pizza dough is nasty. It was worth the extra effort. I use the “Quick and Easy Pizza Crust” recipe from this site.
Very good. I didn’t change a thing.
Good but kiddos weren’t a fan
Delicious! We will be adding this to our regular menu!
I had leftover pizza dough, from Chef Rider’s Quick & Easy Pizza Crust, toppings (ham, rotissarie chicken, Bell pepper, black olives). I spread out dough, lightly put avocado oil on it, added a couple spoonfuls of jarred garlic & basil spaghetti sauce, shredded cheese, chicken, ham, black olives, Bell pepper, and more cheese over half of the dough. Then folded other half on top & pinched edges together. Lightly oiled the top, placed it in the oven for 10 min, flipped and baked another 3 min. It was really good! Maybe a little less filling next time.
Wow! Wow!Wow! The recipe is great as is! I used the used 1 and 1/4 puff pastry sheets, made it into a ball and rolled it. Everything was as just the recipe called for. Thank you chef , it’s a keeper now
It was very bland, I recommend doubling the sauce and seasoning.
I did not make any changes to the recipe, but I used fresh homemade dough (Bobby Flay’s recipe – I make it all the time!) The family loved it and want me to make it again next week.
This was a great recipe. I cut my dough into 2 individual calzones, although the chicken didn’t fully fit. The added a little bit of chopped celery into the chicken mixture. Then I tossed about 2tsp of blue cheese into the calzone before closing instead of dipping in dressing. Delish!
This was so easy and tasted great!! Used Wewalka classic pizza dough and Sweet Baby Ray’s wing sauce. Brushed top with garlic oil and pricked with fork before baking.
This is the greatest recipe of all time, 11/10
I changed up from buffalo wing sauce to bbq and it was really good
LOVE this recipe! It’s so easy, makes amazing leftovers, and tastes great with ranch. However the first time I made it the bottom of the crust burned. I cook it at 375 for 20 minutes
Delish! Thanks to another reviewer, I added 1 oz cream cheese. I went light on the hot sauce and made several smaller calzones. Will definitely make again!
Loved the way this turned out. A perfect game day munchie.
Only made this recipe once (glitch caused it to say 3x), but I’ll be making it again. What a tasty and simple dish! I used barbecue sauce instead of Buffalo sauce because it’s too spicy for me. Also added some onions. Very flavorful!
FYI, this is a stromboli, not a calzone. A calzone is smaller, filled with cheese and cooked in the fryer. This was a great stromboli recipe and my family loved it…but we used Ranch dressing and Blue cheese dressing as dips.
This was very yummy and really filling. Very good dish for game night!
This was a big hit with my family. I added onions to my husband’s calzone and some fresh dried oregano to the tops! Will definitely make this again!
