• To begin we are going to prepare the dough for the calzone. In a bowl we put the flour and salt, make the shape of a volcano and pour the oil and water in the center. We begin to stir little by little with a wooden spoon and when we can’t take it anymore, we mix with our hands. Once the dough is formed, let it rest for 15 minutes.
• On the other hand, we brown the chicken in a pan with a little oil and add a little salt.
• With the help of a rolling pin, stretch and spread the calzone dough on a flat surface. Then, we pass it to the oven tray that we have previously greased.
• Wash and slice the tomato season it with salt and pepper and place it on the calzone dough.
• Place the diced chicken on top of the tomato and drizzle with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Finally we put the cheese in slices and a little oregano. If you like basil you can also use it.
