Sundried Tomato & Mozzarella Protein Calzone

Flavourful, high-protein and super satisfying!

By using chicken mince instead of a carb-based dough, we massively boost the protein -keeping us fuller for longer and we can enjoy a carb side without double carbing our meal. Balanced and delicious!

Ingredients


For the ā€œdoughā€:


  • 500g lean chicken mince

  • 1½ tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 2 tsp paprika

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper


Filling (divide evenly between 3):

  • Handful fresh spinach

  • 30g sun-dried tomatoes, finely sliced

  • 30g Padano Parmesan cheese

Method


  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (fan).

  2. In a bowl, mix the chicken mince with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper.

  3. Divide into 3 portions. On baking paper, flatten each portion into a thin oval shape.

  4. On one half of each oval, add:


    • A portion of cream cheese

    • Spinach

    • Sun-dried tomatoes

    • Mozzarella

    • A small sprinkle of Parmesan (save most of it for the top!)


  5. Fold the mince over to form a calzone shape and press edges firmly to seal.

  6. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan over the top to create that crispy Parmesan crust šŸ˜‹

  7. Bake for 30 minutes until golden and cooked through.
