Alfredo Sauce Preparation
  1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat and sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. Stir in heavy cream and Italian seasoning, and simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
  3. Add grated Parmesan cheese and mix until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Calzone Assembly
  1. Roll out pizza dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thick and cut into six circles.
  2. Spread a tablespoon of the Alfredo sauce in the center of each dough circle.
  3. Add shredded cooked chicken and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella on top of the sauce.
Sealing Calzones
  1. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, pinching the edges together tightly.
  2. Use a fork to crimp the edges if desired and set the sealed calzones aside until ready to cook.
Cooking
  1. Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes and lightly grease the basket.
  2. Place calzones in the air fryer basket, ensuring enough space around each for air circulation.
  3. Air fry at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking until golden brown and crispy.
Serving
  1. Remove calzones from air fryer and brush the tops with softened butter.
  2. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm with marinara sauce on the side.
