- Transfer the bottom half of the rolls to the bottom of the air fryer basket or place them onto the air fryer tray. Add 1/3 cup of basil pesto to the bottom half of the rolls and spread until it reaches the edges. Sprinkle the shredded rotisserie chicken over the pesto layer, then add the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken.
