Ingredients:
1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup Alfredo sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup ricotta cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp garlic powder
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Marinara sauce for dipping (optional)
Directions:
1. Prepare the Dough:
Divide the pizza dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle about 6 inches in diameter, perfect for holding your delicious Alfredo chicken filling.
2. Make the Chicken Alfredo Filling:
In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Mix well to create a creamy, flavorful filling.
3. Assemble the Calzones:
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the filling onto one half of each dough circle. Be sure to leave a small border around the edges. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape, and press the edges together. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a tight seal, preventing the filling from spilling out while air frying.
4. Egg Wash for a Golden Finish:
Brush each calzone with beaten egg to give them a beautiful, golden-brown finish.
5. Air Fry:
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the calzones in the air fryer basket, making sure there’s enough space between them. Air fry for 10-12 minutes or until they’re golden brown and crispy. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook in batches.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
Let the calzones cool for a few minutes before serving. Pair them with marinara sauce for dipping, adding extra flavor to these indulgent air fryer treats.
