This Buffalo chicken calzone recipe is tasty and very easy to make. Great to slice up for a party or Sunday football. Serve with blue cheese dressing for dipping sauce.

- 1 pound skinless , boneless chicken breast halves
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.25 cups Buffalo wing sauce
- 1 refrigerated pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil , divided
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 410 degrees F (210 degrees C). Grease a 12-inch pizza pan.

Place chicken into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Cook chicken in boiling water until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a bowl and shred with two forks.

Air Fryer Polenta Pizza Bites
Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and gooey melty cheese on top. If Italian herb polenta is not available, sprinkle Italian seasoning over the rounds after brushing with EVOO. I like these as they are but feel free to dip in pizza or marinara sauce for that extra pizza kick. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Baked Shotgun Shells
These baked shotgun shells are an out of this world appetizer - pasta shells are stuffed with ground sirloin and cheese, wrapped in bacon, and baked until crispy.
Savory Lassi
Wonderful accompaniment for a spicy Indian or even Mexican meal.
