Welcome back friends! Are you ready for some more football inspired fun? Last week we shared a HUGE roundup of Fall fashion perfect for tailgating or football parties. This week we are switching gears and talking about the Football Season Food!
These easy Chicken Cordon Bleu Calzones are stuffed with swiss cheese, ham and chicken for the ultimate football season food!
One of the things I like best about these is how versatile they are- they are quick and easy to make if you want to make them fresh. They can be made ahead and frozen, only needing a few minutes in the oven to get you ready for the game or they can be wrapped in tinfoil and warmed up at a tailgating party!
CHICKEN CORDON BLEU CALZONES
INGREDIENTS:
- 16 ounces pizza dough
- 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 8 slices deli Swiss cheese
- 8 slices deli ham
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Divide the dough into four equal pieces. Roll or stretch the dough into a 6 to 8 inch oval. Brush the surface of the dough with the Dijon mustard- leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Layer to slices of cheese, two slices of ham and 1/2 cup shredded chicken on the dough leaving a 1 inch border around the edges.
- the dough over the chicken and press the edges together to seal. Pinch tightly to avoid the cheese leaking out during baking.
- Repeat with the remaining dough and other ingredients.
- Place the calzones on a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal to keep them from sticking.
- Brush the surface of the calzones with the egg, this gives it the nice golden brown crisp on the outside.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Serve immediately
