Chicken Alfredo Air Fryer Calzones

✅️✅️ Chicken Alfredo Air Fryer Calzones

These golden, cheesy calzones are stuffed with creamy Alfredo sauce, juicy chicken, and melty mozzarella – perfect for air frying and even better for dipping!

🔻 Ingredients:

🔹️For the Dough & Filling:

◾️1 lb. store-bought pizza dough

◾️2 cups cooked chicken (rotisserie or diced breasts)

◾️1 cup shredded mozzarella

◾️Marinara sauce (optional, for dipping)

🔹️For the Alfredo Sauce:

◾️5 tbsp butter

◾️1 cup heavy cream

◾️4 garlic cloves, minced

◾️1 tsp Italian or Cajun seasoning

◾️¼ tsp salt

◾️¼ tsp pepper

◾️1 cup freshly grated Parmesan

🔹️For the Butter Topping:

◾️4 tbsp softened butter

◾️2 tsp minced fresh parsley

🔻 Instructions:

✅️1. Make the Alfredo Sauce:

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in cream, salt, pepper, and seasoning. Simmer gently for 3 minutes, then add Parmesan and stir until smooth and thick. Set aside to cool.

✅️2. Assemble the Calzones:

Divide dough into 4 oz. balls. Roll each into a 6” circle. Spread 1 tbsp Alfredo sauce in the center, add chicken, then sprinkle mozzarella. Fold dough over into a half-moon and pinch edges to seal.

✅️3. Air Fry to Perfection:

Mix parsley and softened butter. Brush calzones with butter mixture and place in air fryer. Cook at 375°F for 8 minutes, brushing with more butter halfway through. Brush once more when done.

↪️Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping!

🔺 Pro Tips:

↪️1. Let the Alfredo sauce cool before assembling the calzones — warm sauce can make the dough too soft to handle.

↪️2. Don’t overfill the calzones or they might burst in the air fryer. A little filling goes a long way.

↪️3. Preheat your air fryer for best results — you’ll get a crispier crust and even cooking.
