Ingredients

  • 1 pound Chicken cutlets, cut into 2-3 inch pieces
  • 8 oz softened cream cheese
  • 6.7 oz sun-dried tomatoes
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

Step 1
Prepare Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken cutlets into bite-sized pieces. This ensures even cooking and perfect texture in every bite.

Step 2
Cream Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with sun-dried tomatoes, black pepper, and garlic powder. The key here is to use softened cream cheese for a smooth and creamy mixture.

Step 3
Combine: Add the chicken pieces to the cream cheese mix, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.

Step 4
Assemble: Transfer the chicken and cream cheese mixture to a baking dish. Sprinkle generously with mozzarella and parmesan cheese for that gooey, cheesy goodness.

Step 5
Air Fry: Cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 23-25 minutes. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Air frying not only speeds up the cooking process but also adds a delightful texture to the dish.

Step 6
Serve: This dish pairs wonderfully with angel hair pasta or your favorite sides.
