Extra Alfredo sauce for dipping
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
02 -
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, ricotta, Parmesan, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then mix everything until well combined.
03 -
Roll out each pizza dough round and cut each into 2 equal pieces so you have 4 pieces total.
04 -
Place a generous scoop of chicken mixture onto one half of each dough piece, leaving about 1/2 inch border around the edges. Fold the empty half over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press and crimp the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
05 -
Lightly brush the tops of each calzone with olive oil. This will help them get that gorgeous golden color.
06 -
Place calzones in the air fryer basket, making sure they don't overlap (you'll likely need to cook in batches). Cook for 8-10 minutes until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
07 -
Let the calzones cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve with extra Alfredo sauce on the side for dipping.
# Notes:
01 -
These calzones use pre-cooked chicken, so make sure your chicken is fully cooked before adding to the filling.
02 -
Store-bought rotisserie chicken works great as a time-saver for this recipe.
03 -
You can make your own Alfredo sauce or use jarred sauce from the store.
