Separately, slice the tomatoes and the mozzarella. In each “pocket”, insert a slice of tomato, a slice of mozzarella, and a basil leaf.

Transfer the caprese chicken into the air fryer basket; you can use baking paper or directly without. Cook at 356°F for about 25-30 minutes. If necessary, we can turn it in the last few minutes of cooking.COOKING IN OVEN:
