This week Thursday night was mine and Josh's cooking lesson night, and Joey came along to seeing as it was at my parents house this time. Since Josh loves his chicken, we are still making our way through the chicken recipes in my cook book. This week was no different, we decided to conquer the chicken calzone! I gave Josh the arduous task of going to the store all on his own with a shopping list that was the most difficult we have had thus far, I've got to give him props though, he managed pretty well and out of the five things on the list he conquered three of them. Once we had the whole list of ingredients we got started!!
Josh got to take the broccoli, mozzarella, pesto and chicken (which we sauteed in a skillet) and toss them all together making sure they were all covered in the pesto. Then he seasoned the mixture with salt and pepper and we set it aside till later. Next was the crust of the calzone, the cook book suggested that we use a pizza crust, so we found one that you just add water to but once it was all mixed it was still a little sticky, so I taught Josh that you can thicken things up by adding a little bit of flour. It was a nifty trick and he got the dough to just the right consistency, hoorraayy!!
Since our dough was done all we had to do was roll it out to about a 12 inch circle and then take the previous chicken mixture and add it to one side of our dough, leaving a little room on the edges so we can seal it. Then we put it in the oven and 15 minutes later we had the most delicious dinner that literally was easy peasy lemon squeezy!! Thanks again for some wonderful time spent with my wonderful family and a great meal from chef Josh :)
