How to Make Artichoke Chicken Calzones

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. Pat 14 ounces of chopped and drained artichoke hearts dry with paper towels.
3. In a large bowl, combine the artichoke hearts, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
4. Add 5 ounces of fresh spinach, 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken, and 1 1/2 cups shredded provolone cheese. Gently toss to combine.
5. Line a large baking sheet with foil.
6. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the foil and spread evenly with the back of a spoon.
7. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of cornmeal over the oiled foil.
8. Unroll 1 pound of pizza dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut the dough into 6 even sections.
9. Cover and let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
10. Pat each dough section into a 5x6 inch rectangle.
11. Spoon the chicken and artichoke mixture onto one half of each rectangle, avoiding the diagonal.
12. Fold each rectangle in half diagonally to create a triangle. Press the edges firmly to seal.
13. Bake on the center rack for 12-15 minutes, or until the calzones are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
