Spread: Instead of Pesto, you can spread mayo inside the pockets or any spread of your choice. Roasted red pepper sauce or a tangy sun-dried tomato pesto works great as well. Or try it with Creamy Avocado Cilantro sauce.
Top the cooked chicken with fresh chopped basil and drizzle with balsamic vinegar or Homemade Balsamic Reduction.
Leftovers
Store the leftover stuffed caprese chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 2 minutes per side until heated.
My favorite: Top the sandwich with cut-up chicken breast and more cheese to enjoy the crispy chicken melt.
Top tip – Do I need to stuff the chicken before cooking?
Yes, stuffing the chicken before cooking adds extra flavor and moisture to your chicken. You can stuff it with your favorite herbs, fruits, or veggies. Just be sure to cook it thoroughly and use a food thermometer to ensure that the chicken reaches the right temperature of 165 F.
