My favourtie Asian buffet is the lunch buffet at Flavour of India. They
don'thave abominations like strawberry-rhubarb pie (not my favourite)
but they do have mango ice sream AYCE. I have to pull a gun on my self
to keep from doing stupid amounts.

I try to never go to the grocery store hungry. That certainly helps keep mr

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

     Title: St. Anselm's Chicken Parmesan Calzone
Categories: Breads, Poultry, Cheese, Sauces
     Yield: 4 servings

    20 oz Pizza dough
     7    Fully cooked crispy chicken
          - tenders; sliced *
     8 oz Shredded mozzarella cheese
   1/3 c  Grated Parmesan cheese
   3/4 c  Pizza sauce
     2 tb Butter; melted
          Flour; for dough

 * The chicken MUST be fully cooked before baking your
 calzone. You don't want to risk undercooked chicken.
 It's much easier to manage cook times this way.

 Set the oven @ 400oF/205oC.

 If using frozen chicken tenders, cook them ahead of time
 according to the directions on the package. Slice into
 smaller strips and set aside.

 Meanwhile, roll out the dough into a 12" circle, like
 you would pizza crust.

 Choose one half, and spread 1/2 cup of pizza sauce over
 the dough, leaving a 1" border around the edge. Top the
 same half with 1 cup mozzarella cheese, all parmesan
 cheese, and chicken tenders.

 Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to the
 opposite edge, forming a half moon shape. Pinch the ends
 together to seal.

 Place calzone on a greased baking sheet and baste the
 top with melted butter. Use a knife to pierce three 1/2
 inch slits in the top of the calzone. Bake for 20
 minutes. Remove the calzone from the oven and top evenly
 (again leaving a 1" crust around the edges) with 1/4 cup
 pizza sauce and about 1/2 a cup of mozzarella cheese.
 Bake for an additional 10 minutes.

 Remove from the oven, let cool for 5-7 minutes, and
 slice into strips for serving.

 YIELD: 1 calzone; serving 4 (or more)
