Instructions
Prepare filling: 1 Transfer to a bowl and add in the cheese and spices. 2 Place broccoli in a bowl, cover with a damp paper towel and microwave on high for 1 minute. Set aside. 3 Once cooled, add in chicken, cheese and spices and toss to mix well. The cheese should get a hint of red color on it. Make dough: 1 Uniformly mix the flour and baking powder in a large bowl. 2 Add the yogurt a little at a time, mixing with a spoon. Don't let it get too sticky. 3 Knead with hands to until uniform. 4 Divide into 8. Assemble: 1 On a floured surface roll out the dough into circles. 2 Pour 3 Tbsp of filling on one half, leaving about half an inch from the end. 3 Cover the filling with the other half, and press down the edges with a fork. 4 Apply the egg wash or almond milk on both sides. 5 Transfer to base of air fryer (work in batches if needed) or lightly greased baking sheet. 6 Air-Fry for 325°F for 12 minutesView original recipe
