Instructions
Trim any excess fat off chicken breasts. Lay them on a cutting board and cover them with a piece of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound out the chicken breast into an even thickness throughout. Remove plastic wrap and season both sides of the chicken breasts generously with salt, black pepper, dried basil and oregano.
Place chicken breasts in air fryer basket. Spray chicken with olive oil spray. Air fry chicken breasts at 425°F for 10 minutes. Remove chicken from air fryer and place on clean cutting board.
Layer tomato slices and mozzarella slices on top of chicken breast until there is no more room. Place the chicken back in the air fryer basket. Air fry chicken for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
Remove chicken from air fryer and top with fresh basil leaves, salt and pepper to taste and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
