Broccoli Chicken Calzones

This recipe is from Please Hold The Onions  Blog.  Each week I am going to try and make one NEW recipe that I haven't tried before.
This is it... I'm hoping for success.
Broccoli Chicken Calzones
1 10-oz pkg frozen broccoli, thawed & chopped
2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1/4 cup pesto
salt and ground pepper
flour for counter
1 pound pizza dough
2 Tbsp olive oil
kosher salt
marinara sauce

1. Heat oven to 450. Pat broccoli dry and toss with mozzarella, chicken and pesto. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. On floured counter, roll out dough to 12-inch round, about 1/4 inch thick. Mound filling over half of dough, leaving 1-inch border around edge. Brush edges of dough with water. Fold other half of dough over filling and press edges to seal.
3. Grease baking sheet with 1 Tbsp oil. Slide wide spatula under calzone and transfer to baking sheet. Cut slits across top. Brush remaining Tbsp oil over top and sprinkle with a little coarse salt. Bake until golden, 15-20 minutes. Cool briefly, cut into slices, and serve with warmed marinara dipping sauce.
