Instructions
- Place the chicken breast cutlets on a plate and pat them dry with a paper towel. Then sprinkle them with the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
- Place them in the air fryer basket and cook at 380 F for 10 minutes. Use tongs to flip them over after 5 minutes. Make sure not to crowd the chicken in the air fryer basket, leave room for the air to circulate.
- While the chicken is cooking slice the cheese and tomato.
- Once the air fryer is done use a thermometer to check the chicken and make sure it has reached 165 F. Put it back in for another minute or two if it is not done.
- Leaving the chicken in the basket top each chicken breast with a slice of mozzarella cheese and a tomato. Use tongs or a fork to do this and be careful not to touch the sides of the basket, they will be very hot.
- Put the basket back in the air fryer and set it on 200 F for 1 minute to melt the cheese. After 1 minute keep the basket closed for another minute. Then take it out and serve the chicken caprese.
- Garnish the chicken with basil and balsamic vinegar if desired.
Notes
- Fresh ripe tomatoes are essential for this recipe. If tomatoes aren't in season use grape or cherry tomatoes since they have better flavor than out of season tomatoes.
- If you are using full sized boneless chicken breasts instead of chicken breast cutlets increase the cooking time to 20 minutes.
