Chicken and Basil Calzones



Recipe from: Cooking Light

2 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound ground chicken breast (I used rotisserie chicken)
3/4 cup prepared pizza sauce
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1 (13.8-ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust dough
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Coat nonstick skillet with cooking spray and cook garlic and chicken until chicken is no longer pink. (about 5 mins.), stirring to crumble. Stir in pizza sauce and pepper. Reduce heat; simmer 5 mins, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in basil. Let stand 10 minutes.

Unroll dough and pat out into 4 sections. Divide chicken mixture and place on one side of dough. Top each dough section with 2 TBSP cheese. Fold dough in half over filling and pinch edges to secure. Bake at 425 for 12 minutes or until golden. Yield: 4 servings; 1 calzone each.
