- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
Dough and Seasoning
- 1 package refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even and crispy cooking of the calzones.
- Mix Filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan cheese. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a flat surface and cut it into 4 equal pieces to create individual calzone bases.
- Add Filling: Place a spoonful of the chicken Alfredo mixture in the center of each piece of dough, being careful not to overfill.
- Seal Calzones: Fold each dough piece over the filling to form a pocket. Press and seal the edges tightly to prevent leakage during cooking.
- Brush and Season: Brush each calzone with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to enhance flavor and promote browning.
- Air Fry: Arrange the calzones in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Serve: Remove the calzones carefully from the air fryer. Let cool slightly, then serve warm and enjoy your delicious Chicken Alfredo Air Fryer Calzones.
Notes
- Make sure not to overfill the calzones to avoid leakage during cooking.
- If your air fryer basket is small, cook the calzones in batches to ensure even cooking.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
- You can substitute shredded rotisserie chicken for a time-saving option.
- Try adding some chopped spinach or mushrooms to the filling for extra flavor and nutrition.
