Ingredients

  • 100g Chicken Breast (weighed raw)
  • 2 Slices White Sandwich Bread
  • 20g Peri Peri Marinade – Medium
  • 15g Light Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 10g Sun-Dried Tomatoes
  • 3g Fresh Basil
  • 20g Garlic Onion & Herb Pizza Sauce
  • 10g Red Onion

Method

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Enjoy: Let it cool slightly before biting into the gooey, spicy, and crispy goodness!
