Ingredients
- 1 Pound Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 Tsp Lemon Juice
- 1 Tsp Salt
- 1 Tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 Tsp Italian Seasoning
- 1/2 Tsp Ground Pepper
- 2 Fresh Basil Leaves
- 5 Slices Fresh Mozzarella, Halved
- 4 Slices Tomato, Halved
Instructions
- Trim the chicken breast to equal thickness.
- In a large bowl or Ziploc Bag, add the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and ground pepper. Mix to combine.
- Take the basil leaves and roll them in your fingers to release the oils and then add them into the bowl or bag.
- Add the chicken to the marinade and poke the chicken with a fork to coat it with the marinade.
- Place in the fridge and chill for 3 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the air fryer at 360°F for 3-4 minutes.
- Add the chicken breast to the air fryer.
- Air Fry at 360°F for 10-12 minutes. The chicken is fully cooked when the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F. If you are using thin chicken breast, check on them at 8 minutes.
- Cover the chicken breast by placing a slice of fresh mozzarella and fresh tomato slices, alternating between the two.
- Air Fry at 360°F for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Serve over pasta, with bread, or salad.
If the mozzarella has a lot of liquid, use a paper towel to pat dry before adding to the air fryer.
