<a href="#zrdn-recipe-container" class="zrdn-recipe-quick-link">Jump to recipe</a><p>I was a teenager the first time I tried a calzone. One of my first jobs was at a pizza parlor in downtown Overland Park called <a href="https://www.papakenosoverlandpark.com/">Papa Keno’s</a>. And one of the perks of the job was free food. There I tried a number of food combinations I had never been ambitious enough to try before, like blue cheese and pineapple on pizza. Don’t knock it til you try it.</p>
<p>We also served calzones at Papa Keno‘s. My manager showed me how to make them and and it instantly became a favorite. I love pizza, but calzones make for a nice change of pace every now and then.</p>
<p>When the &#8220;two ingredient dough&#8221; became a big phenomenon in the WW community, I excitedly started brain-storming all the things I could make with it. It makes a great pizza crust, and one day I’ll do a pizza recipe for <a href="http://grubdelite.com">Grub Delite</a>. But today it&#8217;s my calzone recipe. It turned out so good and guess what guys &#8211; it’s only five points! I filled it with chicken, spinach, mushrooms, ricotta, and mozzarella cheese. Then I served it with a side of zero point, fat free pizza sauce.</p>
<p>For those unfamiliar with the two ingredient dough, it&#8217;s simply self-rising flour and nonfat Greek yogurt. Or you can use all purpose flour, baking powder, and nonfat Greek yogurt instead, making it three ingredients &#8211; my preferred method. I also added spices to the dough mixture (like in my <a href="https://grubdelite.com/2018/05/18/skinny-pepperoni-pizza-bites/">Skinny Pepperoni Pizza Bites</a>.)</p>
<h1>The Method</h1>
<p>Spray a large pan with nonstick cooking spray and cook chicken over medium heat, approximately 3 minutes per side or until thoroughly cooked inside.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-861" src="https://grubdelite.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/IMG_9075-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></p>
<p>Set chicken aside, and add 1 tsp of olive oil to pan. Add mushrooms and spinach. Saute for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are softened. Return cooked chicken to pan, and add garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and stir well. Remove pan from heat and set aside.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-857" src="https://grubdelite.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/img_9084-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></p>
<p>Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, oregano, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper in a large mixing bowl and whisk well.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-862" src="https://grubdelite.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/IMG_9077-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></p>
<p>Add nonfat Greek yogurt to bowl.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-858" src="https://grubdelite.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/img_9078-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></p>
<p>Use a fork to lightly stir until yogurt and flour are well combined. It will look like little chunks of dough.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-854 size-medium" src="https://grubdelite.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/img_9085-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></p>
<p>Lightly flour a work space and start kneading dough about 15 times. Add flour as needed until it’s tacky but doesn’t stick to your hands. Form dough into a ball.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-853 size-medium" src="https://grubdelite.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/img_9086-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></p>
<p>Divide dough into 6 equal pieces (it helps to cut the ball in half, then cut the halves into three pieces). Using a rolling pin, flatten dough into a circle that it is about 6-7 inches in diameter. (If needed, sprinkle a little more flour on dough to prevent it from sticking to rolling pin.)</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-852 size-medium" src="https://grubdelite.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/img_9087-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></p>
<p>On the bottom half of the circle, spread a layer of ricotta (1-2 tbsp), chicken and vegetable mixture (2 tbsp), then top that with mozzarella (1-2 tbsp).</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-855 size-medium" src="https://grubdelite.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/img_9088-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></p>
<p>Fold over the top half of the dough to bring edges together, making a semi-circle. If the dough tears a bit, it&#8217;s not a big deal. Just try to patch any holes back up a bit &#8211; it will still taste good! With your fingers or a fork, seal the edges together. Tear 2-3 small tears on top of calzone. Brush melted light butter onto calzones and sprinkle with Parmesan.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-845 size-medium" src="https://grubdelite.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/snapseed-3-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with a side of fat-free pizza sauce.</p>
