Ingredients
Scale
For the filling:
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
- ½ cup chicken ham, chopped
- ¼ cup turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt & pepper to taste
For the dough:
- 1 can (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, chopped chicken ham, turkey bacon, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface and cut into 4 equal rectangles or circles (depending on your shape preference).
- Spoon the filling mixture onto one half of each dough piece, leaving a ½-inch border.
- Fold over the dough and press the edges with a fork to seal. Use a knife to cut 1–2 small slits on top for air to escape.
- Brush each calzone with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Place calzones in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Air fry for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip halfway through for even cooking.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Serve with extra Alfredo sauce for dipping if desired.
Notes
-
Use leftover or rotisserie chicken for speed and convenience.
-
For a crispier crust, avoid overloading the calzones with sauce.
-
Seal edges tightly and score tops for steam to escape during cooking.
-
Try adding spinach or mushrooms for extra veggies and flavor.
-
Reheat leftovers in the air fryer to restore crispiness.
