Units
Scale
- For the Calzones:
- 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional for Serving:
- Marinara sauce for dipping
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough:
Divide the pizza dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each piece into a 6-8 inch circle on a floured surface. - Assemble the Calzones:
- Spread about 2 tablespoons of Alfredo sauce onto one half of each circle, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Add shredded chicken, mozzarella, Parmesan, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning on top of the sauce.
- Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Pinch or crimp the edges tightly to seal.
- Brush with Egg Wash:
Brush the tops of the calzones with beaten egg to create a golden crust. - Cook in the Air Fryer:
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
- Place calzones in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each one. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Flip halfway through cooking for even browning, if needed.
- Serve and Enjoy:
Let the calzones cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken for convenience.
- Add spinach or sautéed mushrooms for extra flavor.
- Adjust air fryer times based on the size of your calzones and the model of your air fryer.
