How long does it take to cook the chicken in the air fryer?
I have the Ninja Foodi and I cooked it at 375 for 12 minutes. Every air fryer is different so check the booklet that comes with your air fryer to see what the manufacturer suggests to air frying chicken.
You will know your chicken is cooked when the internal temperature of chicken is 165 degrees F.
Can I cook this Prosciutto-Wrapped Sundried Tomato Chicken in the oven or on the stove-top?
Absolutely!
If baking it in the oven:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the wrapped chicken on a rimmed baking sheet that has been greased well (or use a Silpat mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking)
- Bake in the oven for approximately 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 165 degrees F.
If baking on the stove-top:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a medium skillet on medium-high heat
- Once heated, reduce heat to medium and place chicken, prosciutto seam down
- Let cook about 5-7 minutes before turning
- Cook an additional 5-7 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reads 165 degrees F.
What can I replace the Sundried Tomato Spread with?
- Pesto
- Boursin cheese
- Tomato sauce with parmesan cheese
- Olive Tapenade
- Mayo with a drizzle of hot sauce
Tips and Tricks for this Air Fryer Prosciutto-Wrapped Chicken
- If your chicken breasts are fairly large, use a knife and cut the chicken in half to make two thinner sections
- If you have a little extra time, pound each chicken breast slightly too thin the breasts even more
- If you don't have any prosciutto, you could easily replace it with 2 slices of deli ham
