Easy Cheesy Calzones

Chicken Filling
- 1 Tbsp canola oil (15 mL)
- 1 small onion, finely diced (1)
- 1 clove garlic, minced (1)
- 1 lb ground chicken (500 g)
- 2 tsp dried oregano (10 mL)
- 1/4 tsp pepper (1 mL)
Dough
- 1 cup whole-wheat flour (250 mL)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (250 mL)
- 1 Tbsp wheat germ (15 mL)
- 1/4 tsp salt (1 mL)
- 2 tsp instant yeast (10 mL)
- 1 cup warm water (250 mL)
- 1 Tbsp canola oil (15 mL)
- 1 can pizza sauce (8 oz/227 mL)
- 1 cup grated reduced-fat mozzarella cheese (250 mL)
Chicken Filling
1. In a large skillet, heat canola oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and cook until onions are softened, about 4 to 5 minutes.
2. Add chicken, oregano, and pepper and cook ingredients until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
3. Set aside.
Dough
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flours, wheat germ, salt, and yeast. Stir in warm water and canola oil. Stir to combine ingredients. If necessary, add additional all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.
3. Knead dough on lightly floured counter top until dough is smooth and elastic. Form into a ball. Cover dough with plastic wrap and let dough rest for 10-15 minutes in a warm place.
4. Divide dough into eight equal sized pieces. Roll out each piece of dough to ¼ inch (0.5 cm) thickness. Dough should measure about 5 inches (12.5 cm) across.
5. Place 2 Tbsp (30 mL) pizza sauce on each piece of dough and spread out over dough, leaving a ½ inch (1.25 cm) border.
6. Divide chicken filling and cheese in center of each circle of dough. Fold the dough over and pinch the edges with a fork. Place calzones on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until nicely browned.
