Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough, divided into 4 equal pieces
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, diced
- 1/2 cup Alfredo sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine diced chicken, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough portion into a 6–8-inch circle with even thickness.
- Spoon the chicken Alfredo filling onto one half of each dough circle, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge.
- Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape. Press edges firmly to seal and crimp with a fork if desired.
- Brush tops of calzones with olive oil.
- Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Place calzones in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each. Cook in batches if needed.
- Air fry for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
- Remove and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if using.
Notes
- Use room-temperature dough for easier rolling and sealing.
- Do not overfill calzones to avoid leaks.
- Add vegetables or different sauces to customize the filling.
- Brush generously with oil for best browning.
- Let calzones rest for 2–3 minutes before eating to avoid burning your mouth.
