Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air-Fried Chicken Calzone.
Step 1
Start by heating a splash of olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Toss in the chopped red onion and sauté it for about two minutes, just until it becomes tender and fragrant.
Step 3
Next, add in a generous handful of baby spinach leaves, cover the skillet, and let them cook for another minute and a half until they’re beautifully wilted.
Step 4
Once that’s done, take the skillet off the heat and stir in some marinara sauce along with shredded chicken, creating a delicious filling that’s bursting with flavor.
Step 5
Now, let’s get your air fryer ready by preheating it to 325°F (165°C) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Step 6
While that’s warming up, divide your pizza dough into four equal pieces.
Step 7
On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a lovely 6-inch circle.
Step 8
Spread a quarter of your savory spinach and chicken mixture over the bottom half of each dough circle, then sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Step 9
Carefully fold the dough over the filling to form a delightful half-moon shape, and crimp the edges to seal in all that goodness.
Step 10
To give your calzones a nice finish, lightly coat them with cooking spray.
Step 11
Now, place the calzones in the air fryer basket and let them cook for about eight minutes.
Step 12
After that, flip them over and continue cooking for another four minutes, or until they turn a gorgeous golden brown.
Step 13
Your delicious calzones are now ready to be enjoyed—perfect for a cozy dinner or a fun snack!.
