Description
Easy Chicken Alfredo Air Fryer Calzones are a delicious and convenient treat, perfect for a quick meal or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) instant yeast
- ¾ cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- ½ cup Alfredo sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast. Add warm water and olive oil, then mix until a dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Make the filling: In a separate bowl, mix shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning until well combined.
- Divide and roll: Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle about 6 inches in diameter.
- Fill the calzones: Place a spoonful of the chicken Alfredo mixture on one half of each dough circle, leaving a small border around the edge.
- Seal the edges: Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges tightly.
- Egg wash & topping: Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.
- Air fry: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Lightly grease the air fryer basket and place the calzones inside, ensuring they do not touch.
- Cook until golden: Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve & enjoy: Let the calzones cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with extra Alfredo sauce for dipping!
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with sautéed vegetables.
- Calzones can be frozen before cooking; just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time when air frying from frozen.
