1. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken and finely grated parmesan cheese. Mix thoroughly until evenly incorporated and slightly sticky. 2. Place a sheet of parchment paper on the counter. Press the chicken mixture into a thin oval, about ¼ inch thick, shaping evenly so it cooks uniformly. 3. Add mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices to one half of the oval, leaving a small border around the edges. Spoon a thin layer of pizza sauce over the filling if desired. 4. Lift the empty side of the chicken oval and fold it over the filling to create a calzone shape. Press the edges firmly together to seal. 5. Sprinkle a thin, even layer of finely grated parmesan over the top surface. Press lightly so it adheres. 6. Carefully flip the calzone over on the parchment and sprinkle another thin layer of parmesan on the opposite side. 7. Preheat air fryer to 375°F for 3–5 minutes. 8. Carefully transfer the parchment with the calzone into the air fryer basket. 9. Cook at 375°F for 12–15 minutes, until the exterior is golden and firm and the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F. 10. Let rest 3–5 minutes before slicing to allow the cheese to set. Serve warm.

What is a classic meal?

Mozzarella is a soft, mild cheese known for its smooth melt and stretch. It doesn’t overpower a dish, which makes it easy to use in different types of meals.

It works well in baked dishes, skillet meals, and quick assemblies like wraps or sandwiches. Because it melts evenly, it helps bind ingredients together without needing much effort.
