Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound THIN chicken breasts – there should be 5-7 in the package
  • 1/2 cup of your favorite fresh basil pesto
  • 1 small thin slice of provolone cheese per chicken breast
  • Salt + pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your air fryer using the “warm-up” or "preheat" setting. *For directions using an oven, see below.
  • Salt + pepper both sides of your chicken
  • Spread a dollop of pesto out onto one side of each thin flat chicken breast
  • Starting from one end of the uncooked chicken, tightly roll it up. Repeat for each chicken + pesto combo. –> Brody did this part for me and LOVED it. I made sure to have him wash his hands before and directly after. But he was very proud of his rolls and it was a great way to get him involved!!
  • Line the inside of the air fryer {but be careful not to burn yourself since you just heated it up!} with nonstick tin foil and then top with the roll-ups.
  • Air fry at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes, turning once mid-way using kitchen tongs.
  • Top each roll-up with your thin slice of provolone cheese. The cheese should cover the roll-up entirely.
  • Continue to air fry at 360 degrees F for 4-5 minutes. Check it after 4 minutes to see if the cheese is melty and bubbly. If it’s not, continue air-frying for another minute. Let rest for a few minutes before removing from the air fryer.

Notes

*If using your oven to make these, preheat it to 400 degrees F. Spread out your nonstick tin foil sheet onto a pan, put the roll-ups on top and they can cook for 15 minutes, turning once mid-way. Then, top each roll-up with the slice of provolone and broil for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is melty and bubbly! Let rest for a few minutes before digging in!
