TRENDING RECIPE VIDEO THIS WEEK ON RECIPEGIRL..

These easy Chicken Cordon Bleu Calzones are loaded with shredded chicken, melty swiss cheese and ham for an easy dinner the whole family will love.  Simple to prepare and can be frozen for quick meals on the fly.

I’m super excited to share one of my favorite things in the whole world….the calzone!  I’m a huge carbolic so anytime you wrap anything up in dough and bake it….I’m there.  And these easy to make Chicken Cordon Bleu Calzones will not disappoint. Anyone….anywhere.

If you’re not familiar with Chicken Cordon Bleu, it’s basically a chicken breast stuffed with ham and swiss before being baked and devoured. I just went one step further and stuffed it into my homemade pizza dough stromboli style making it absolutely perfect for game day.  You can even freeze them after assembly for an easy weeknight dinner.  Leftover chicken from your Sunday dinner or a rotisserie chicken make this even quicker to throw together.

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 Eggland's Best egg, lightly beaten

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2. 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.
3. Layer two slices of cheese, two slices of ham and 1/2 cup shredded chicken on the dough leaving a 1 inch border around the edges.
