Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1½ cups pre-cooked shredded chicken
- ½ cup Alfredo sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Dough & Finishing
- 1 package pre-made pizza dough (enough for 4–6 calzones)
- Olive oil or cooking spray, for brushing
- Optional: Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well until creamy and evenly mixed.
- Roll Out the Dough: Divide the pizza dough into equal portions. Roll each portion into a 6-7 inch diameter circle. Cover with a towel to prevent drying.
- Fill and Seal: Place a generous scoop of the chicken Alfredo mixture in the center of each dough circle, leaving edges clear. Fold dough over into a half-moon shape and press edges firmly to seal, crimping with a fork to secure.
- Prepare for Air Frying: Lightly brush each calzone with olive oil or spray with cooking spray. Preheat the air fryer to 370°F (190°C).
- Air Fry the Calzones: Arrange calzones in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t touch. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Let calzones cool a few minutes before cutting to avoid filling spillage. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve.
Notes
- Don’t overfill the calzones to prevent leaking.
- Use pre-cooked chicken to save time and ensure even filling.
- Flip calzones halfway during cooking for even crispiness.
- Allow calzones to rest after cooking for easier handling.
- Spray air fryer basket lightly to prevent sticking.
