70 grams unsalted butter
02 -
4 cloves garlic, minced
03 -
240 millilitres heavy cream

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
05 -
90 grams freshly grated Parmesan cheese

→ Calzones
08 -
450 grams pizza dough
09 -
280 grams cooked chicken breast, shredded
10 -
110 grams shredded mozzarella cheese
11 -
55 grams unsalted butter, softened
12 -
2 teaspoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
# How to Make It:
01 -
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until aromatic. Pour in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning, simmering for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Reduce the heat to low and steadily blend in the Parmesan cheese, stirring until fully melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
02 -
Separate the pizza dough into 4 equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to shape each piece into a round approximately 15 centimetres in diameter and 0.5 centimetres thick. Transfer the rounds onto a parchment-lined baking tray.
03 -
Spread one-quarter of the Alfredo sauce over half of each dough round, leaving a 1.5 centimetre border. Layer with 70 grams shredded chicken and 28 grams mozzarella cheese. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling, then press and crimp the edges with a fork to seal securely.
04 -
In a small bowl, mix softened butter with chopped parsley. Using a pastry brush, coat the tops of each calzone with the parsley butter mixture.
05 -
Arrange the calzones in the air fryer basket lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Air fry at 190°C for 8 minutes, flipping each calzone halfway, until the crust is golden. Brush with any remaining parsley butter after cooking.
06 -
Allow the calzones to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with marinara sauce for dipping.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Leftover calzones may be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
