Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
• 1 (8 ounce) package fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
• 2 fully cooked breaded chicken fillets (such as Kirkwood®)
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil, cut in very thin strips
• 0.5 tablespoon salt
• 0.5 (8 ounce) can marinara sauce

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, set 2 chicken fillets into the air fryer basket.

Step 4

Air fry chicken fillets for 6 minutes. Flip fillets over and cook for 6 minutes on the other side. Spread marinara sauce over fillets. Top each fillet with mozzarella slices. Air fry until cheese is melted, about 3 more minutes.

Step 5

Drain spaghetti noodles and divide noodles between 2 bowls. Carefully add a chicken fillet to each bowl. Garnish with basil.
