Stuffed Chicken Breasts...Calzone and Buffalo

We have been going to the Land and Sea Market lately after realizing they have pretty good prices on meats. We have tried over half of their stuffed chicken breasts and we love them. I decided to try my hand at it tonight and YUM. They turned out great! We usually get two flavors and split them so we can each taste one. So, in tradition, I made two flavors....Calzone and Buffalo. I have to say, the Buffalo version I made, I prefer over the Land and Sea Market's. The calzone is about equivalent. I can't wait to try different variations!
