Equipment
- 1 air fryer
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 rolling pin
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 spoon or spatula
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil For brushing and enhancing flavor.
- 1 package (16 oz) refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 egg for egg wash Gives a golden finish.
- to taste none salt For seasoning.
- to taste none pepper For seasoning.
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Cut the dough into 4 equal squares.
- Place a generous scoop (about ⅓ cup) of the chicken Alfredo mixture in the center of each square.
- Fold the dough over the filling to create a pocket. Press the edges together firmly to seal. You can crimp the edges with a fork for a decorative touch.
- Brush the tops of each calzone with olive oil and beat the egg in a small bowl. Use the egg wash to brush over the top of the calzones for a golden finish.
- Place each calzone in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching. You may need to do this in batches.
- Air fry for 10-12 minutes, or until the calzones are golden brown and cooked through.
- Once done, carefully remove from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute before serving.
Notes
Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
You can substitute the chicken with cooked shrimp or vegetables for a different variation.
Make sure not to overfill the calzones as this can cause them to burst during cooking.
