Chicken Alfredo Air Fryer Calzones šŸ—šŸ§„✨


 

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

  1. Divide the pizza dough into 4 equal portions.
  2. Roll each portion into a circle about 6–8 inches in diameter on a lightly floured surface.

Step 2: Make the Filling

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3: Fill the Calzones

  1. Place a portion of the filling in the center of each dough circle, leaving about 1 inch around the edges.
  2. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and press the edges together firmly to seal.
  3. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative and secure seal.

Step 4: Prepare for Air Frying

  1. Brush the tops of the calzones with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  2. Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray or lightly brush with oil to prevent sticking.

Step 5: Air Fry the Calzones

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 2–3 minutes.
  2. Place the calzones in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.
  3. Air fry for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the calzones are golden brown and crispy.

Step 6: Serve

  1. Let the calzones cool for a few minutes before serving.
  2. Serve with your choice of marinara sauce or extra Alfredo sauce for dipping.
