BBQ Chicken Calzones

6 slices bacon
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
1 bottle barbecue sauce, divided
1 can refrigerated biscuits
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp.  Remove from pan and drain on paper towels; crumble.  Drain bacon fat from pan or use bacon fat instead of the oil.  Warm olive oil over medium heat; add onion and shredded chicken and saute until onion is tender.  Stir in 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, and remove from  heat.  Mix in cooked bacon.

Flatten out biscuit dough onto a greased cookie sheet.  Press to an even thickness.  Spread a small amount of barbecue sauce on each biscuit (about 1 tsp.)  Divide the chicken mixture between the biscuits, spreading on only half of each piece to within 1/2 inch of the edge.  Sprinkle cheese over the top.  Fold each biscuit in half and press the edges together with a fork to seal.  Bake 12 minutes or until browned to your liking.  Cool for a few minutes.  Can be served with additional BBQ sauce.
