Worthy of a Special Occasion

Use a microwave or toaster oven to reheat this dish. Let calzones come to room temperature before wrapping to keep the dough from getting soggy. Pack some bottled marinara sauce for dipping.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 calzone)

Ingredients

  • 1  (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and finely chopped
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
  • 1  garlic clove, minced
  • 2  cups  thinly sliced fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 1/4  cups  (5 ounces) shredded sharp provolone cheese
  • 1  cup  shredded cooked chicken breast (about 5 ounces)
  • 1  teaspoon  olive oil
  • 2  teaspoons  cornmeal
  • 1  (13.8-ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust dough

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425°.

Pat artichokes dry with paper towels. Combine artichokes, salt, pepper, and garlic in a large bowl. Add spinach, cheese, and chicken; toss gently to combine.

Brush oil over a baking sheet; sprinkle with cornmeal. Unroll dough onto prepared baking sheet; cut into 6 equal portions. Cover and let rest 5 minutes. Pat each portion into a 6 x 5-inch rectangle. Spoon 2/3 cup spinach mixture into center of each dough portion. Fold one corner of each dough portion over spinach mixture to form a triangle. Press edges together with fingers to seal. Bake at 425° for 12 minutes or until golden.

The filling has flavor, but is dry. Needs more cheese and some kind of white sauce. The canned pizza crust is bland and messes up the flavors.03/16/09

So I had to change a few things, just because of the past reviews on here. I also added chicken sausage in addition to one chicken breast, also I used a multi-grain pizza dough (available at Publix) to add some extra nutritional value (or so I think extra..). Anyways, the whole thing came together great, was very flavorful and filling with a small side salad in addition. A definite MUST TRY recipe!03/10/09
