Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 1 cup cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
- ½ cup Alfredo sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
For the Dough:
- 1 package refrigerated pizza dough (or use your favorite homemade recipe)
For the Topping:
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional toppings: garlic powder, red pepper flakes, grated parmesan
Instructions
1. Preheat
Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat while you prepare the calzones.
2. Mix the Filling
In a medium bowl, stir together cooked chicken, Alfredo sauce, shredded mozzarella, and Italian seasoning.
3. Shape the Dough
Roll out the pizza dough and cut it into 4 equal rectangles or circles.
Spoon the filling onto one half of each piece, leaving about ½ inch around the edges.
4. Seal the Edges
Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon or pocket shape.
Use a fork to press and seal the edges well—this keeps all that cheesy goodness inside.
5. Brush & Sprinkle
Brush each calzone with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Sprinkle with garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and grated parmesan for extra flavor (optional but recommended!).
6. Air Fry to Crispy Perfection
Place calzones in the air fryer basket—don’t overcrowd.
Air fry for 8–10 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
7. Cool & Serve
Let cool for a few minutes before biting in. Serve with warm marinara or extra Alfredo sauce for dipping!
