Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken breast (shredded or diced)
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Alfredo Filling: Mix the shredded or diced chicken with Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll the pizza dough into an 8-10 inch diameter circle or oval.
- Fill the Calzones: Spoon the chicken Alfredo mixture onto one half of the dough, leaving about 1 inch around the edges for sealing.
- Seal the Calzones: Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges to seal, using a fork for extra crimping. Optionally, brush the top with olive oil.
- Air Fry the Calzones: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the calzones in the basket, ensuring they don’t touch. Air fry for 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Serve: Let the calzones cool for a minute before slicing. Serve with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping. Enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure not to overstuff the calzones to avoid bursting.
- Preheat the air fryer for even cooking and crispy results.
- Feel free to add other veggies like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
