Ingredients (per serving):

- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup diced bell pepper

- 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp dried basil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup whole wheat pizza dough
Cooking Tips:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F before starting the recipe.
- Use a rolling pin to roll out the pizza dough into a circle shape.
- Be sure to leave enough space around the edges of the dough to fold it over and seal the calzone.
- Brush the top of the calzone with a little bit of olive oil before air frying to help it brown and crisp up.
Cooking Process:
1. In a small bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, marinara sauce, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper.
2. On one half of the pizza dough circle, spread the chicken mixture, leaving about 1/2 inch of space around the edges.
3. Top the chicken mixture with the diced bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms.
4. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the vegetables.
5. Fold the other half of the pizza dough over the top of the filling and press the edges together to seal.
6. Brush the top of the calzone with a little bit of olive oil.
7. Place the calzone in the air fryer basket and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
8. Remove the calzone from the air fryer and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
