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.
