Method
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Coat the diced chicken breast in peri peri marinade and cook until fully cooked through. Set aside.
- Prepare the Bread: Roll out the white sandwich bread using a rolling pin and cut off the crusts. This creates a smooth surface for sealing the pocket.
- Assemble the Pizza Pocket: Take one slice of bread and spread the garlic, onion & herb pizza sauce evenly. Layer on red onion, sun-dried tomatoes, cooked peri peri chicken, shredded mozzarella, and fresh basil.
- Seal the Pocket: Place the second slice of bread on top and press the edges together firmly. Use a fork to crimp the edges, ensuring the filling stays inside while cooking.
- Air Fry to Perfection: Place the pizza pocket in the Green Pan ceramic non-stick air fryer and cook at 180°C for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Enjoy: Let it cool slightly before biting into the gooey, spicy, and crispy goodness!
