# What You’ll Need:
→ Filling
01 -
1 1/2 cups cooked shredded chicken
02 -
1/2 cup Alfredo sauce
03 -
1/2 cup shredded whole milk mozzarella cheese
04 -
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
05 -
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend
06 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
07 -
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
→ Dough and Finish
08 -
1 package refrigerated pizza dough (about 14 oz)
09 -
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
10 -
1 large egg, beaten
# Steps to Make This:
01 -
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to ensure optimal browning and crisp texture.
02 -
In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir until evenly mixed.
03 -
On a lightly floured surface, roll pizza dough into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into four equal squares.
04 -
Place approximately 1/3 cup of the chicken Alfredo mixture in the center of each dough square, keeping filling away from edges to prevent leakage.
05 -
Fold each dough square over the filling to form pockets. Press edges firmly to seal, then crimp edges with a fork for a secure and decorative finish.
06 -
Lightly brush calzone tops with olive oil followed by the beaten egg wash to achieve a golden, glossy crust.
07 -
Place calzones in the air fryer basket, spacing them to allow air circulation. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
08 -
Remove calzones and let rest for one minute to allow filling to set slightly before serving.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
For best results, allow dough to reach room temperature before rolling for easier handling.
02 -
Avoid overfilling calzones to prevent leaks during cooking.
