Pizza Pizza

These were such an easy and tasty dinner. I've been thinking of making calzones for a while and I was at Trader Joes the other day and picked up some pre-made whole wheat dough. I was so surprised when it was tasty and chewy. The dough really made these work. Of course you could use any kind of pizza dough you can find or make your own. I stuffed these with whatever I could find in the fridge. Be creative and use your favorite pizza toppings.

Artichoke heart, Chicken, Sun dried tomato and Pesto Calzones

1 package pre made pizza dough

1 can chopped artichoke hearts

1 boneless, skinless chicken breast - cooked, cooled and diced

1/2 cup marinara sauce

1 cup mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes
1 cup chopped basil

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 t garlic

1/4 cup olive oil

Preheat oven to 375. Toss diced chicken with marinara, set aside. In small food processor, add basil, parm. cheese, garlic and olive. Process on high until a pesto is formed, set aside. Break pizza dough into 3rds and flatten each section out into about a 5 inch circle. On 1/2 each circle spread prepared pesto. Top with chicken, 1/3 of the the artichoke, 1/3 of the sun dried tomato, and 1/3 of the mozzarella. Fold the other half of the dough over top of the ingredients and seal the edge with your fingers. Place on a greased pan and place in oven for approx. 20 minutes.
