Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 store-bought or homemade pizza dough, about 8 inches diameter when rolled

Filling

  • 1 cup cooked shredded or diced chicken
  • 1/3 cup Alfredo sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

For Cooking

  • Olive oil or cooking spray, for brushing or spraying
  • Additional Parmesan cheese (optional, for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated and well incorporated.
  2. Roll Out the Dough: Lightly flour your work surface and roll the pizza dough into a circular shape about 8 inches in diameter, providing enough size to fold into a calzone pocket.
  3. Assemble the Calzone: Place the prepared filling on one half of the dough, leaving a small border around the edge. Fold the other half over the filling, then press and crimp the edges firmly with a fork to seal properly and prevent leaks during cooking.
  4. Prepare for Air Frying: Lightly brush or spray the calzone with olive oil to help create a golden, crispy crust. Optionally, sprinkle some extra Parmesan cheese on top for added flavor.
  5. Air Fry to Perfection: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the calzone in the basket and cook for 12 to 15 minutes until the crust turns golden brown and crispy and the cheese filling is melted and bubbly.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the calzone and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing. This resting time helps prevent the filling from spilling out. Serve warm for best enjoyment.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth blending and even heating.
  • Don’t overfill the calzone to avoid spills and ensure a good seal.
  • Apply a light coating of olive oil on the dough to achieve a crispy, non-greasy crust.
  • Start checking the calzone at 10 minutes as air fryer models vary in cooking times.
  • Let the calzone rest before slicing to allow the filling to set properly.
