Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Cooking Spray
  • Parchment Paper, optional

Notes

Notes:

  • Ensure chicken breasts are of even thickness for uniform cooking. If they are particularly thick, consider butterflying or pounding them for even thickness.
  • Freshly shredded cheese is recommended as it melts better than pre-packaged shredded cheese.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 300°F for the best texture.
