Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • 2 (6 ounce) chicken breasts
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 2 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup sliced pepperoni
  • 2 tablespoons minced onion
  • 2 tablespoons pizza sauce

Directions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Cut a shallow slice lengthwise down each chicken breast. Fold chicken breasts in half and cut 2 more shallow slices horizontally. The pocket will resemble an upside down “T”.

  3. Rub each chicken breast with 1 teaspoon oil and season with Italian seasoning and garlic salt.

  4. Stuff each chicken breast with 1/2 of the fresh mozzarella, pepperoni, onion, and pizza sauce. Transfer to the air fryer basket.

  5. Air fry until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 18 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
