Ingredients 

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts,
  • 2 large tomatoes, 8 slices fresh tomato, thin
  • 4 slices Fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced or bocconcini
  • 1/4 cup Fresh basil leaves
  • 2 teaspoons Balsamic glaze
  • 2 teaspoons Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt , or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper, or to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) or follow the manufacturer's recommended temperature for cooking chicken.
  • Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. This will add flavor and help the chicken cook evenly.
  • Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the preheated air fryer basket. Cook for approximately 15-20 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through the cooking time. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts and your air fryer model. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it's fully cooked.
  • While the chicken is cooking, prepare the Caprese topping. Slice the ripe tomatoes into rounds and slice or use bocconcini mozzarella. Wash and dry the fresh basil leaves.
  • Remove the basket and tip each chicken breast with a slice of mozzarella cheese and 2 tomato slices. Place the basket back and cook for 2-3 minutes. Until the cheese has melted.
  • Drizzle a generous amount of balsamic glaze over the assembled Caprese Chicken. The balsamic glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor that complements the dish perfectly.
  • Serve your Air-Fried Caprese Chicken immediately while it's still warm. The combination of tender chicken, ripe tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and aromatic basil will delight your taste buds.
  • If you like, you can garnish the dish with additional fresh basil leaves and a final drizzle of balsamic glaze for presentation.
