Chicken & Broccoli Homemade Calzone

Last night I wanted to make a special breakfast for dinner for my awesome working husband and after I had everything planned and ready to cook my waffle maker decided it wasn't going to work appropriately and so my plans went down the drain and feeling the way I was feeling, that was not a good thing. But God had better plans allowing us to go out and enjoy a good evening and a nice burger with delicious fries :) sounds awesome doesn't it!!!!

Today I decided I wanted to make some type of hot pocket or calzone for dinner and so I started my search for ideas and came across this delicious recipe.

What you’ll need:

1/2 batch pizza dough

2 large chicken breasts

2 cups steamed broccoli

2 oz. cream cheese

1/2 cup Alfredo sauce ( I made my own, no store bought in this recipe)

2 cups cheddar cheese

1/2 cup olive oil

Garlic powder

Onion powder

Parsley, dried

Kosher salt

Black pepper

Instructions

Season chicken breasts to taste with black pepper, kosher salt, garlic powder and onion powder. Bake at 350 until cooked through.

Roll your dough out, about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into 4 sections.

This was one of my already cut sections

Spread 2 tsp of cream cheese over the center of the dough. Add 1 tbsp. of Alfredo sauce on top of the cream cheese. Cover with diced chicken, broccoli, and cheddar cheese. Fold up 2 of the ends to cover the filling then fold the other 2 ends up, completely covering the filling.

Dampen your fingers and gently moisten the edges of the dough to seal, making sure to pinch the seams tightly. If the outside of the dough is sticky, lightly sprinkle with flour. Place upside down on a baking sheet.

 In a small dish, mix together 1/2 cup olive oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp parsley, and a pinch of salt.

Lightly brush your olive oil mixture onto the top of each pocket.

Cut a small slit in the top to allow steam to vent and allow to rise in a warm place for about half an hour.

Bake your homemade hot pockets in a preheated oven (400 degrees) for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.

This is where I prayed to the Lord "please put your hands over this and allow for it to taste delicious" Hey, I can have a little help!!!!

And as you can see they came out looking super nice and tasting delicious!!! We enjoyed it very much and because they came out so big we saved two for another time.
My husband said: "they were deeeelish" and he even told me how to spell it. So glad I had the help of the Almighty.

Have a good rest of the day!!!! Be blessed :)
