Ingredients
- 4 1/2 cups dry short cut pasta (I used Radiatore but fusili would work well too) (330 grams)
- 8 oz Ciligiene mozzarella balls (226 grams)
- 1 1/2 cups halved cherry tomatoes (230 grams)
- 1/4 cup rough chopped or torn basil
Dressing
- 1/4 cup olive oil (2 fl oz)
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (2 fl oz)
- 1/4 cup chopped shallot (40 grams)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (1 fl oz)
- 1 tbsp honey (0.5 fl oz)
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp Flavor God Garlic Lover's Seasoning
- 1 tsp salt (add more to taste)
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Juicy Air Fryer Chicken
- 1 1/2 lbs raw chicken breast
- 3 tbsp homemade brine mix
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp Flavor God Garlic Lover's Seasoning
- 1/2 tsp each: salt, pepper, chili powder
Instructions
Juicy Air Fryer Chicken
- Bring 2 cups water to a boil. Add brine mix and stir until dissolved. Pour over ice in a flat bottomed resealable container. Add chicken, then add additional water until chicken is submerged. Brine for at least 5 hours or up to 12 hours.
- Remove chicken from brine and rinse with cold water. Pat dry on a paper towel, then pound down the thicker end of the chicken breast until they are even thickness across.
- Rub the chicken with 1 tsp olive oil until evenly coated. Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, and Flavor God seasoning.
- Air fry the chicken at 380 degrees for 11 minutes, flipping halfway through until the internal temperature reaches 165°. Set aside to cool for about 5 mintes before slicing. (Note: you can also grill the chicken at 400° for 6 minutes, then flip and grill another 5-6 minutes depending on thickness).
Prepare Pasta Salad
- Whisk all dressing ingredients together vigorously or shake them together in a dressing container like this.
- Boil pasta in salted water to al dente texture (mine took 9 minutes). Drain and rinse with cold water, then toss in a bit of the dressing to avoid sticking.
- Toss all ingredients together with dressing before serving.
