How to Make Easy Air Fryer Tuscan Chicken Recipe

Step Two: Set cook time for 7-10 minutes and flip and baste the chicken with the mustard vinaigrette. While your chicken is cooking, place the roasted tomatoes, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, and capers place in a saucepan. Pour the balsamic vinaigrette into the pan and season with salt and pepper. Toss till mixed. Place the Farro in the center of the dish. Top with steamed asparagus, and Farro.

Step Three: Once the chicken is done, place it on the serving plate, and sprinkle it with a tomato artichoke mixture. And finish dressing up the chicken, then serve.

Easy Air Fryer Tuscan Chicken Recipe Tips

• Pat chicken dry: This helps the chicken brown perfectly in the air fryer.
• Don’t overcrowd the basket: Cook in a single layer for even cooking and crisp edges.
• Use high-quality sun-dried tomatoes: They add rich, authentic flavor to the creamy sauce.
• Baste for extra flavor: Flip and coat the chicken with mustard vinaigrette halfway through cooking.
• Serve immediately: For the creamiest sauce and juiciest chicken, serve right after cooking.

Storing, Freezing & Reheating

• Storing: Keep cooked Tuscan chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Make sure the creamy sauce is fully cooled before storing to maintain texture.
• Freezing: You can freeze cooked chicken in a freezer-safe container for up to 2–3 months. For best results, freeze the chicken and sauce separately to prevent the cream sauce from separating.
• Reheating: Reheat refrigerated chicken in the air fryer at 350°F for 5–7 minutes, or in the microwave in short intervals until warmed through. If reheating from frozen, thaw overnight in the fridge and then reheat gently to avoid overcooking the chicken.

Easy Air Fryer Tuscan Chicken Recipe Faqs

Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts? Yes! Boneless, skinless chicken thighs work well and stay juicy. Adjust the cooking time slightly to ensure they are fully cooked.

Do I need an air fryer to make this recipe? While the air fryer gives the best texture, you can also bake the chicken in the oven at 400°F for 20–25 minutes, then top with the Tuscan sauce.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time? Yes! You can prep the chicken and sauce separately, then combine and reheat before serving.

Can I freeze leftovers? Yes, cooked chicken and sauce can be frozen separately for up to 2–3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.

What can I serve with this Tuscan chicken? Pair with pasta, rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

How do I make the sauce extra creamy? Use heavy cream or half-and-half, and stir in the sun-dried tomato mixture slowly over low heat for a rich, velvety texture.
