For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese to the filling. If you don't have fresh mozzarella, shredded mozzarella works well too. Feel free to customize the fillings with your favorite pizza toppings, such as mushrooms, bell peppers, or olives. Ensure the chicken breasts are of similar size for even cooking. To prevent the filling from leaking, secure the edges of the chicken breasts with toothpicks before air frying, remember to remove them after cooking.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your air fryer to 380 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepLay a chicken breast flat on your work surface. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the breast in half horizontally, like butterflying it, but leave one side attached so it opens like a book. Repeat with the remaining chicken breast. (5 minutes)
03
StepIn a small bowl, combine the olive oil, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt. Rub this mixture generously over the outside of each chicken breast. (2 minutes)
04
StepOpen each chicken breast 'book'. Divide the mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, onion, and pizza sauce evenly between the two breasts. Carefully close each breast to enclose the filling, pressing gently to seal. (5 minutes)
05
StepCarefully transfer the stuffed chicken breasts to the preheated air fryer basket, ensuring they aren't overcrowded. (1 minute)
06
StepAir fry for approximately 18 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear. The internal temperature should reach at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) when measured with an instant-read thermometer. (18 minutes)
07
StepLet the chicken breasts rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bite. (3 minutes)
