Baked Chicken Alfredo calzones are a delightful fusion of Italian-American cuisine, combining the creamy richness of Alfredo sauce with the comforting, hand-held appeal of a calzone. Originating from the classic Italian calzone, which is essentially a folded pizza, this version incorporates the beloved flavors of Chicken Alfredo pasta. It’s perfect for those who enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness of Alfredo but want a twist on the traditional dish. These calzones are great for family dinners or casual gatherings, offering a unique and satisfying meal.
These Baked Chicken Alfredo calzones pair wonderfully with a fresh green salad dressed with a light vinaigrette, which helps to balance the richness of the calzones. Additionally, a side of roasted vegetables such as asparagus or broccoli can complement the creamy filling. For a more indulgent meal, consider serving with a side of garlic bread or a classic Italian antipasto platter.
