Ingredients

  • 1 can (8 ounces) pizza sauce
  • 2 teaspoons plus 1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce, divided
  • 1-1/4 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 3 celery ribs, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • Dash Cajun seasoning
  • 2 tubes (13.8 ounces each) refrigerated pizza crust
  • 1-1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • Cornmeal

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine pizza sauce and 2 teaspoons Buffalo wing sauce; set aside. In a large skillet, cook chicken and celery in butter over medium heat for 3-5 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink; drain if necessary. Stir in Cajun seasoning and remaining 1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce; cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°. Unroll pizza dough; divide each portion in half. On a floured surface, roll each into an 8-in. circle. Spread pizza sauce mixture over half of each circle to within 1 in. of edge. Top with chicken mixture and cheeses. Fold dough over filling; pinch or crimp edges to seal.
  3. Sprinkle greased baking sheets with cornmeal. Place calzones over cornmeal. Bake until golden brown, 10-12 minutes.
