Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breast
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/2 tsp onion salt
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 TBS minced garlic
  • 16 oz pizza dough
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 1 egg (beaten)
  • 1 TBS water

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Sprinkle the chicken breasts with Italian seasoning, garlic salt, and onion salt.
  • Add it to a large saute pan over medium heat and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping over half way through, until the chicken is an internal temperature of 165 F.
  • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then cut it into bite sized pieces.
  • Cook bacon in a saute pan (or oven or airfryer) over medium heat until it reaches your desired crispiness. Crumble the bacon into small pieces.
  • Combine the ranch dressing and minced garlic in a small bowl. Set it aside.
  • Cut the pizza dough into 4 sections and roll each section into a circle, about 8 inches in size.
  • Top each circle with the ranch dressing, leaving a little space on the edges for sealing the calzones.
  • Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the dressing.
  • Sprinkle chicken evenly over the cheese. Then sprinkle the bacon and the red onion.
  • Fold the dough circles in half covering the toppings completely. Pinch the edges sealed with your fingers.
  • Transfer the calzones to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Cut 2 to 3 slits in the top of each calzone to release the steam as they bake.
  • Beat the egg and water together in a small bowl. Brush the egg wash ontop of the calzones to help them turn golden brown.
  • Sprinkle the tops with garlic salt and parsley if desired.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy and the insides are hot throughout.
  • Enjoy warm.
