3-Ingredient Air Fryer Cheesy Mozzarella Chicken

Ingredients:

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup marinara sauce (or pizza sauce)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer:
    Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat it for about 5 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Chicken Breasts:
    Season the chicken breasts with your favorite spices (optional) and place them in the air fryer basket lined with parchment paper. Make sure the chicken is not overlapping.
  3. Cook the Chicken:
    Cook the chicken breasts in the air fryer for about 10-12 minutes. Check for doneness by using a meat thermometer (165°F or 74°C in the center).
  4. Add Sauce and Cheese:
    After the chicken is cooked through, spoon a little marinara sauce on top of each piece of chicken. Then, generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  5. Melt the Cheese:
    Return the chicken to the air fryer and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Serve:
    Carefully remove the chicken from the air fryer, and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like basil or parsley for added flavor.

Enjoy your quick and cheesy mozzarella chicken!
