EASY CHEAT BAR B QUE CHICKEN CALZONES



Easy Cheat Bar B Que Chicken Calzones image

Easy and delicious these calzones are a quick dinner or a great game day snack. There's a bit of smokiness from the barbecue sauce and a hint of sweetness thanks to the onion. As soon as you take a bite cheese just oozes out with the juicy shredded chicken. Fresh cilantro rounds out the flavors wonderfully. So good!

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 c shredded rotisserie chicken (or use leftovers)
12 frozen dinner rolls thawed @ room temp
3/4 c bbq sauce (more according to your preference)
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
1/2 medium sweet onion
1 c shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Place one frozen dinner roll in each cup of a muffin tin. Cover with a light towel and let thaw to room temp and rise slightly.
  • 2. Roll each roll out as far as it can go. Make them thin.
  • 3. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of your favorite BBQ sauce on 6 of the 12 rolled dough pieces, leaving about 1/4 - 1/2-inch border of dough on the outside.
  • 4. Place as much cooked and shredded rotisserie chicken as desired (about 1/4 cup for each calzone).
  • 5. Place 1-2 tablespoons of chopped onion over the tops of the chicken.
  • 6. Sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of cilantro over the top of the onion. If you don't care for cilantro just skip this step.
  • 7. Sprinkled with shredded mozzarella cheese. I like cheese so I use 1/4 cup on each.
  • 8. Make sure none of the filling touches 1/4-1/2 inch dough border you left around the outside of your 6 calzones. Place a rolled out dough on top of each of your calzones and seal it up. Make sure it is sealed TIGHTLY so that none of the filling leaks out.
  • 9. Place the 6 calzones on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until golden in color.
  • 10. We like to dip ours in garlic ranch dressing. But, you don't need to dip them in anything as they are good on their own!
