Instructions

In a large bowl, stir together the broccoli, tomato sauce, olive oil, shredded chicken, cheese and fresh basil.
On a lightly floured surface, divide dough into four pieces.
Roll each piece into a 10-inch circle.
Carefully place one circle on a lightly greased baking sheet.
Spoon a fourth of the chicken mixture onto half of the circle.
Brush edges of dough with water; fold dough over filling and pinch edges to seal.
Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
With a sharp knife, make a small slash on each calzone; this will let any steam escape.
Beat egg and water; brush over calzones.
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown.
