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