Ingredients

Scale

For the Calzones:

  • 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)

For Dipping (Optional):

  • Marinara sauce

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dough:
    • Divide the pizza dough into 4 equal portions.
    • Roll each portion into a circle approximately 6 inches in diameter.
  • Make the Filling:
    • In a medium bowl, mix the shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder until well combined.
  • Fill the Calzones:
    • Place 2-3 tablespoons of the filling on one half of each dough circle, leaving a small border around the edges.
    • Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape.
    • Seal the edges by pressing them together and crimping with a fork.
  • Apply the Egg Wash:
    • Brush the tops of the calzones with the beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish.
  • Air Fry:
    • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
    • Place the calzones in the air fryer basket, ensuring there’s space between them.
    • Air fry for 10-12 minutes, or until the calzones are golden brown and cooked through. (Cook in batches if necessary.)
  • Serve:
    • Let the calzones cool for a few minutes before serving.
    • Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning on top of the calzones before air frying.
  • You can customize the filling with your favorite ingredients, such as sautéed spinach or mushrooms.
  • Ensure the edges are well-sealed to prevent the filling from leaking during cooking
