Ingredients
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped.
1 teaspoon seasoning blend, Italian-style.
1 pound dough for pizza.
2 cups chicken, cooked and shredded.
1 cup cream cheese, heavy.
4 tablespoons butter, softened for brushing.
1 cup cheese, grated Parmesan.
1 cup mozzarella, shredded.
5 tablespoons butter, for sauce.
2 teaspoons parsley, fresh, finely chopped.
Optional marinara for dipping.
Salt and pepper as desired.
Steps
Start by melting butter in a saucepan on low. Toss in garlic and let it cook until fragrant. Add cream and herbs, simmer for about 3 minutes till you see bubbles.
Mix grated Parmesan into the warm sauce. Stir till melted and creamy. Allow sauce to cool down while you prep the dough.
Divide dough into four balls. Roll each out on a floured surface into 6-inch circles.
Spread a scoop of sauce on each dough circle. Add chicken with cheese on top. Fold dough over and tightly seal the edges.
Combine softened butter and parsley in a bowl. It’s for brushing before cooking.
Brush each calzone with herb butter. Cook in air fryer at 375°F for 8 minutes till golden. Add another coat of butter halfway.
