First things first, roll out your pizza dough. I usually aim for about a quarter-inch thick—just enough for a good fold! Sometimes, I get a little too ambitious and end up with squares that look more like abstract art than calzones! If that happens, just embrace the chaos!

In a bowl, combine shredded chicken with Alfredo sauce, Italian seasoning, and a handful of cheese. The moment you mix that cheesy goodness—oh boy! It smells like heaven! Just be careful not to overdo the sauce, or you’ll get soggy calzones, and nobody wants that.

Now, the fun part! Spoon a generous amount of the filling onto one half of the dough. Don’t be shy! Just leave a little space around the edges to seal. I used to overstuff them and ended up with a gooey mess, but hey, more cheese never hurt anyone, right?

Fold the dough over and pinch the edges tightly! Sometimes I get a little wild and try to crimp the edges with a fork—cute, right? But let’s be real, I’m usually just trying to avoid the filling oozing out! Cut a few slits on top to let the steam escape, and trust me, you don’t want these beauties bursting in the air fryer!

Brush the tops with olive oil and pop them in the air fryer at 375°F for about 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on them because every air fryer is a bit different! I once got distracted and ended up with calzones that looked more like crispy rocks—oops! They should be golden brown and the cheese melty!

Let them cool for a hot minute (or five, if you’re like me and can’t wait to dive in!). I love serving these with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. You’ll thank me later!
