Tips
Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked to 165 degrees.
A meat mallet can be used instead of a rolling pin to flatten the chicken.
Substitute turkey bacon for reduced fat.
Add fresh cilantro, other cheeses, green onions, or chili powder for variations.
Use leftover rotisserie chicken.
Serve with flour tortillas, pasta, rice, or vegetables.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months, reheating in the air fryer for 4 minutes at 350 degrees.
To double the recipe, adjust cooking time to avoid overcrowding the air fryer
