step by step recipe
- Cut the chicken breast into cubes and sauté with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of salt. Place in the air fryer basket and set the appliance to 180°C for 6 minutes.
- Remove the cooked chicken from the basket and mix it with the pesto sauce.
- Cut the pizza dough in half and form 2 equal circles. Place the pesto chicken on one half of each dough circle and add half of the mozzarella cheese to each circle.
- Fold the dough over the chicken and seal the edges. Beat the egg and, using a brush, brush the dough with the egg wash.
- Make two or three small air holes on top of the calzones and place them in the air fryer basket. It may help to place a layer of parchment paper at the bottom of the basket before adding the calzones.
- Close the basket and set the appliance to 180°C for 10-12 minutes or until desired crispiness is achieved.
- Serve piping hot!
Ingredients
- To prevent the filling from leaking during cooking, we can wet our finger with water and rub around the edges of the dough circles before closing them to help seal them better.
