Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cook frozen chicken tenders if used as per package instructions, then slice them into smaller pieces.
Prepare the Dough:
Dust a clean surface lightly with flour. Roll out your pizza dough into a 12-inch circle, aiming for an even thickness.
Add the Sauce:
Spread half a cup of pizza sauce over one half of the dough circle, leaving a 1-inch margin clear at the edge.
Layer the Fillings:
Onto the sauced half, layer one cup of shredded mozzarella, all the Parmesan, and the sliced chicken tenders, distributing them evenly.
Fold and Seal the Calzone:
Fold the bare half of the dough over the toppings, forming a half-moon. Crimp the edges together firmly to seal, using a fork or your fingers.
Prepare for Baking:
Place the calzone on a greased baking sheet. Brush its surface with melted butter, then make three 1/2-inch cuts on top to let steam escape.
First Bake:
Bake for 20 minutes, then pull it out to add the remaining 1/4 cup of pizza sauce and 1/2 cup of mozzarella on top, keeping clear of the edges.
