Follow The Directions

01

Step

Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add red onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender (about 2 minutes).

02

Step

Stir in spinach; cover and cook until wilted (about 1 1/2 minutes). Remove from heat; stir in marinara sauce and cooked chicken.

03

Step

Preheat an air fryer to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

04

Step

Divide the pizza dough into 4 equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a 6-inch circle.

05

Step

Spread 1/4 of the spinach mixture over the bottom half of each dough circle. Top each with 1/4 of the shredded mozzarella cheese.

06

Step

Fold the dough over the filling to form half-moons. Crimp the edges to seal tightly. Coat each calzone generously with cooking spray.

07

Step

Carefully transfer the calzones to the air fryer basket. Cook for 8 minutes. Turn the calzones over and cook until golden brown (about 4 minutes more).

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the spinach mixture.
Ensure the edges of the calzones are well-sealed to prevent filling from leaking during cooking.
Serve immediately with warm marinara sauce for dipping.

    Great recipe for a quick weeknight dinner. I prepped the filling ahead of time to save even more time.

    Be careful not to overfill the calzones, or they might burst open while cooking.

    The air fryer makes the crust perfectly crispy every time. Will definitely be making these again.

    I used whole wheat pizza dough for a healthier option, and they still turned out great!
