Ingredients:
1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup Alfredo sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Marinara sauce for dipping (optional)
Directions:
Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.
Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Cut the dough into circles (about 6 inches in diameter).
Fill the Calzones: Spoon a generous amount of the chicken Alfredo filling onto one half of each dough circle, leaving a border around the edges. Fold the other half over to create a pocket, pressing the edges together to seal. Crimp the edges with a fork for a decorative touch.
Prepare for Air Frying: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush the tops of the calzones with the beaten egg to give them a golden color while cooking.
Air Fry the Calzones: Place the calzones in the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches). Cook for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Serve: Allow the calzones to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
