Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and golden brown on the outside.
Remove the skillet from heat and toss the cooked chicken in Buffalo sauce until evenly coated. Set aside to cool slightly.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle.
Spread the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge.
Add the Buffalo chicken mixture on top of the cheese. Drizzle ranch dressing over the chicken for extra flavor.
Carefully fold the other half of the dough over the filling to form a semi-circle. Press the edges together, then crimp with a fork to seal the calzone.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top of the calzone.
Transfer the calzone to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Boneless Buffalo Chicken Calzone with extra ranch or Buffalo sauce on the side, if desired.
