Why you’ll love this recipe
You get the cozy flavors of creamy Alfredo pasta and cheesy chicken stuffed inside a handheld pocket of crisp pizza dough, so every bite has sauce, meat, and cheese in just the right balance. Using cooked shredded chicken and store‑bought pizza dough keeps the prep simple while still tasting homemade, and the air fryer gives you that browned, pizzeria-style crust without heating up your whole kitchen. With a 10‑minute prep and 10‑minute cook time, you can go from ingredients to a platter of bubbling hot calzones in about 20 minutes.
