Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 cup marinara sauce (or pizza sauce)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and preheat it for about 5 minutes. - 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. - 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). - 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. - 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. - 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!
