BBQ Chicken Calzones

If you like BBQ Chicken pizza, you'll love these.

Ingredients:
3 cups shredded, cooked chicken breast meat
1/2 small onion chopped
2/3 cup BBQ sauce
4 slices bacon
1 cup grated mozza cheese
1 can refrigerated pizza crust dough

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F
Fry bacon in a large skillet over med-high heat until crisp. Remove from the pan to drain on paper towels, crumble. Add the onion and shredded chicken to the hot bacon grease in the pan. Fry over med heat until onion is tender. Stir in 1/3 cup bbq sauce, and remove from heat. Mix in the cooked bacon.

Roll the pizza dough onto a greased cookie sheet. Press out to an even thickness, and then cut in half. Divide the chicken mixture between the 2 pieces of dough, spreading on only half of each piece to within 1/2 inch of the edge. Drizzle the remaining bbq sauce over the filling. Sprinkle the cheese over the top. Fold the uncovered portion of dough over the filling and press the edges together with a fork to seal.

Bake for 20-25 mins in the oven, or until browned to your liking. Cool for a few minutes the cut each calzone in half. Each serving is half of a calzone. Serve with additional bbq sauce, or if you're like us, with ranch dressing!
