These chicken calzones might be mini, but the flavor is anything but. The perfectly-baked pizza dough is filled with a creamy mixture of cheese, bacon, chicken, and chopped jalapeños.

Air-Fryer Mini Chicken Calzones

Beat cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch dressing mix with an electric mixer until combined. Stir in shredded Rotisserie chicken, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, cooked bacon, and jalapeno. 

Unroll refrigerated pizza crusts. Cut each into 6 (4-inch each) rounds using a cookie cutter. Spoon 2 tablespoons filling in center of each round; moisten edges with water. Fold in half to enclose filling; press edges together. Moisten top edge with water. To create a rope edging, fold edge up and over diagonally; slightly press down to seal. 

Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees according to manufacturer's instructions. Lightly spray air fryer basket with nonstick spray. Working in batches, place calzones in a single layer in basket. Spray tops with nonstick spray. Air-fry for 7 to 8 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, turning halfway through. 

To oven bake: Prepare calzones as directed; lightly spray with nonstick spray. Bake on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet at 400 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes or until calzones reach 165 degrees.

Brush calzones with melted butter. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan and chopped parsley, if desired. Serve with ranch dressing.
