Ingredients
→ Filling
1 pound shredded cooked chicken breast
1/2 cup Alfredo sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
→ Calzones
2 store-bought pizza dough rounds
1 tablespoon olive oil, for brushing
→ Serving
Extra Alfredo sauce for dipping
Steps
Heat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, ricotta, Parmesan, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then mix until well combined.
Roll out each pizza dough round and cut each into 2 equal pieces, resulting in 4 total pieces.
Place a generous scoop of chicken mixture onto one half of each dough piece, leaving a 1/2 inch border. Fold the edge over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press and crimp edges with a fork to seal.
Lightly brush the tops of the calzones with olive oil for a golden crust.
Place the calzones in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Cook in batches for 8-10 minutes until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
Allow the calzones to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve with extra Alfredo sauce on the side for dipping.
Tips
