Golden and flaky on the outside, creamy and cheesy on the inside—these air fryer calzones are stuffed with tender chicken and rich Alfredo sauce. Perfectly cooked in minutes for that homemade pizzeria vibe!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450 g) pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup (150 g) cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) Alfredo sauce
- 1 cup (100 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup (50 g) shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp water
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- Divide the pizza dough into 4 equal portions.
- Roll each portion into a circle, about 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter.
- Make the Filling:
- In a bowl, mix the cooked chicken, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, and black pepper.
- Stir until everything is well combined.
- Fill the Calzones:
- Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of the chicken Alfredo mixture onto one side of each dough circle.
- Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
- Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
- Prepare for Air Frying:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash.
- Brush the tops of the calzones with the egg wash for a golden finish.
- Air Fry:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the calzones in the air fryer basket (you may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding).
- Cook for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.
- Perfect with a side of marinara sauce for dipping!
Tips:
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a bit of Italian seasoning on top before air frying.
- Add some chopped spinach or mushrooms to the filling for more veggies.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes, or until golden.
Storage:
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 3–4 minutes for crispiness.
