Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat the oven to 425 degrees F.

2. Stir the chicken, cream cheese, 1/2 cup salsa, and shredded cheese in a medium bowl and set it aside.

3. Unroll the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch square. Cut the dough into 4 (6-inch) squares.

4. Place about 1/2 cup chicken mixture on half of each square. Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges together to seal.

5. Place the calzones on a baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes or until they're golden brown.

6. Cool the calzones on the baking sheet for 1 minute and serve them with the remaining salsa for dipping.
