Ingredients
- 4 slices very thin chicken (4.2 oz)
- to taste breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- to taste flour
- 2.1 oz provola cheese
- 3.5 oz tomato sauce
- to taste salt
- to taste extra virgin olive oil
Tools
- Air Fryer
Steps
Let’s start preparing the chicken slices. Take the very thin chicken slices and dip them first in flour, then in beaten eggs, and finally in breadcrumbs. Once breaded, add a pinch of salt to season them.
Meanwhile, prepare the rest for later: mix the tomato sauce with a drizzle of oil and a pinch of salt. Separately, cut the provola cheese into slices.
– Air Fryer: preheat the air fryer to 375°F and place the breaded slices in the basket and add a spritz of oil. Cook them at 375°F for 8 minutes. At this point, open the basket, turn them over and top each slice with tomato sauce and provola slices, then cook for another 3 minutes.
– Oven: preheat the oven to 400°F and place the breaded slices on a baking tray and add a drizzle of oil. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, until they are golden and crispy. Turn them over and top with tomato sauce and provola slices, and cook for another 5 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted and stringy.
In both cases, the result will be a crispy slice on the outside and tender on the inside, with the rich flavor of pizzaiola and the cheese melting in a perfect embrace. Enjoy your meal!
Tips for you
✔ As an alternative to the air fryer and oven, you can easily fry the slices in plenty of seed oil, then finish cooking with the oven, air fryer, or even in a pan if you wish.
✔ You can add the tomato sauce as is or cook it beforehand.
✔ I recommend not using baking trays or parchment paper for air fryer cooking: this way the meat will be perfectly golden with even cooking.
✔ Alternatively, you can use perforated parchment paper for air fryer, which allows air to pass from bottom to top, and if the cheese leaks, it will remain on the parchment paper. You can find it on Amazon by clicking here: link.
✔ For this recipe, I used the 6-liter COSORI TURBO BLAZE air fryer: you can find it on Amazon by clicking here.
