Description
These Chicken Alfredo Air-Fryer Calzones are crispy, golden pizza dough pockets filled with creamy Alfredo chicken and cheese. Perfectly portable and quick to make, they’re great for weeknight dinners, parties, or meal prep.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Pizza dough (enough for 4 calzones)
- Olive oil (for brushing)
- Optional: Marinara sauce or extra Alfredo for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- On a floured surface, divide pizza dough into 4 equal portions and roll out into rounds.
- In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Spoon filling onto one half of each dough round, leaving a border around the edges.
- Fold over the dough to form a half-moon shape and seal edges tightly by crimping with a fork or fingers.
- Brush the tops with olive oil.
- Place calzones in the air fryer basket, in batches if needed, without overcrowding.
- Air-fry for 8–10 minutes or until crust is golden brown and crispy.
- Let rest for 1–2 minutes before serving.
- Serve with marinara or extra Alfredo sauce if desired.
Notes
- Make sure the filling isn’t too runny to avoid soggy dough.
- Pre-cook or drain any added vegetables to reduce moisture.
- Use a fork or dough crimper for a tight seal to prevent leaks during air frying.
- You can freeze assembled, uncooked calzones and air-fry them straight from frozen with added time.
