How to Make Bbq Chicken Calzones
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy. Remove, drain on paper towels, and crumble.
- Add chopped onion to the bacon grease in the skillet and cook over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in shredded chicken and 1/3 cup BBQ sauce. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring to combine. Remove from heat and stir in the crumbled bacon.
- Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Roll out pizza dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut in half.
- Spread half of the chicken mixture onto each dough half, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
- Drizzle the remaining 1/6 cup BBQ sauce over the filling.
- Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and cilantro.
- Fold the uncovered dough over the filling, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Crimp edges with a fork.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool for a few minutes before cutting each calzone in half.
- Serve immediately with extra BBQ sauce, if desired.
