Ingredients:
Flour for dusting
8-ounce bag shredded mozzarella cheese
16-20 ounces pizza dough
6-7 fully cooked crispy chicken tenders, sliced
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup pizza sauce
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If using frozen chicken tenders, cook them according to the package instructions. Once cooked, slice them into smaller pieces and set aside.
Prepare the Dough:
On a lightly floured surface, stretch and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle, similar to a pizza base. Ensure the dough is evenly spread and not too thick.
Add the Sauce:
Spread 1/2 cup of pizza sauce on one half of the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges. This will prevent the sauce from spilling out while baking.
Layer the Fillings:
On the same sauced half, layer 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/3 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and the sliced chicken tenders. Make sure the filling is evenly distributed.
Fold and Seal the Calzone:
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges together, then use your fingers or a fork to crimp the edges tightly and seal the calzone.
Prepare for Baking:
Place the calzone on a greased baking sheet. Brush the top with melted butter for a golden, flavorful crust. Using a sharp knife, cut three 1/2-inch slits on top to allow steam to escape while baking.
First Bake:
Bake the calzone in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove it from the oven and spread the remaining 1/4 cup of pizza sauce on top. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Second Bake:
Return the calzone to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
Cool and Serve:
Let the calzone cool for 5-7 minutes before slicing. This allows the filling to settle and makes slicing easier. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.

Stir in the pineapple chunks and the cooked chicken. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.

Instructions
Prepare the Mango Salsa:
Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix together the diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño (if using), and fresh cilantro.
Add Lime Juice: Add lime juice and season with salt to taste. Stir well and set aside. Chill while you prepare the fish.
Prepare the Coconut Lime Fish:
Set Up Breading Station: Place flour in one shallow dish, beaten egg in another, and a mixture of shredded coconut and panko breadcrumbs (combined with lime zest, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper) in a third shallow dish.
Bread the Fish: Dredge each fish fillet in the flour, shaking off excess. Dip in the beaten egg, then coat with the coconut and breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Cook the Fish:
For Pan-Frying: Heat coconut oil or vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the fish fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The fish should flake easily with a fork.
For Baking: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the breaded fish on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly spray with cooking spray. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve:
Plate the Fish: Transfer the cooked fish fillets to serving plates.
Top with Salsa: Spoon the mango salsa over the top of each fillet.
Garnish: Garnish with extra lime wedges and cilantro if desired.
Enjoy: Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as rice or a fresh salad.
Tips:
Coconut Variation: Use sweetened or unsweetened shredded coconut based on your preference for sweetness.
Spice Level: Adjust the amount of jalapeño in the salsa according to your heat preference.
Make-Ahead Salsa: The mango salsa can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Enjoy your Coconut Lime Fish with Mango Salsa—a delightful tropical dish that's both refreshing and satisfying!
