1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp Italian seasoning

👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prep the Filling
-
In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
2. Assemble the Calzones
-
Roll out pizza dough and cut into 2 equal rectangles (or circles).
-
Spoon filling onto one half of each dough piece, leaving a ½-inch border.
-
Fold dough over filling, press edges to seal, and crimp with a fork.
3. Air Fry to Perfection
-
Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 mins.
-
Brush calzones with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan (if using).
-
Air fry 8-10 mins, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
4. Serve Hot!
-
Let cool 2 mins (filling will be lava-hot!).
-
Dip in marinara or extra Alfredo sauce.
💡 Pro Tips
-
Prevent leaks: Don’t overfill! Seal edges tightly.
-
Extra crisp? Spritz with oil instead of brushing.

No air fryer? Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-18 mins.
