Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 15 minutes
Chill: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

1/2 cup self-rising flour, plus more for dusting surface

1/2 cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

3 oz. cooked and chopped skinless chicken breast

1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

2 tbsp. low-fat cottage cheese

1 tbsp. finely chopped carrots

1 tbsp. finely chopped celery

1 tbsp. Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce

Optional dip: light ranch dressing

Directions:

In a large bowl, mix flour, yogurt, and garlic powder until dough forms. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

To make the filling, combine all remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well.

On a floured surface, shape dough into two circles, each about 6 inches in diameter and 1/4-inch thick.

Spoon filling over one half of each circle, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Fold the top half of each circle over the filling so the edges meet. Firmly press edges with a fork to seal.

Spray an air fryer with nonstick spray. Place calzones in the air fryer, and spray with nonstick spray.

Set air fryer to 360ºF (or the nearest degree). Cook until tops are light golden brown and dough is cooked through, 13–15 minutes.

Oven Alternative: Bake at 385ºF until tops are light golden brown and dough is cooked through, 15–17 minutes.

HG Tips: Making your dough a day in advance (or even a few hours), then covering and refrigerating it can make it easier to work with. (Using some flour on your hands and the surface can help too!)
