Ingredients

🥩 250g lean chicken mince
🧄 1 tsp garlic powder
🧅 1 tsp onion powder
🌶️ 1 tsp paprika
🧂 ½ tsp salt & pepper
🧀 2 tbsp cream cheese
🌿 Handful of spinach
🍅 Sun-dried tomatoes
🧀 Parmesan cheese

1- Prepare the Chicken Mixture:

• Combine the 250g of lean chicken mince with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp paprika, and ½ tsp each of salt and pepper in a mixing bowl.
• Mix until well combined.

2- Shape the Chicken Base:

• Place a sheet of baking paper on a flat surface.
• Spread the seasoned chicken mixture and flatten it into a thin oval shape.

3- Add Filling:

• Spread 2 tbsp of cream cheese in the center of the chicken oval.
• Layer a handful of spinach, a few pieces of sun-dried tomatoes, and sprinkle an ample amount of parmesan cheese over the top.

4- Seal the Calzone:

• Carefully fold the chicken over the filling to create a pocket.
• Seal the edges by pressing down firmly to ensure the filling stays inside.

5- Cook the Calzone:

• Preheat your air fryer to 180°C.
• Place the stuffed chicken calzone in the air fryer and cook for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Alternatively, bake it in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 25 minutes.
