Instructions

Step 1

Insert a knife into the thickest part of each chicken breast and move back and forth to create a 2½-inch pocket that is as wide as possible without going through.

Step 2

Using a spoon, divide pesto and goat cheese among pockets, rub with ½ tablespoon oil, then season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Lay prosciutto on the cutting board and place a few small basil leaves in the center of each.

Step 4

Place chicken on top and wrap prosciutto around chicken, then place seam side down in the air fryer basket.

Step 5

Air-fry at 375°F for 6 minutes.

Step 6

Toss green beans and garlic with remaining tablespoon of oil and ¼ teaspoon each of salt and pepper.

Step 7

Move the chicken to one side of the air fryer and place green beans on the other side.

Step 8

Continue air-frying until chicken is cooked through and green beans are just tender and slightly charred.

Step 9

Serve with tomato salad on the side.

Pro Tips

#1

Ensure the pocket in the chicken breast is wide enough to hold the filling without piercing through the sides.

#2

Place the chicken seam-side down in the air fryer to prevent the prosciutto from unravelling during cooking.

#3

Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

#4

If you do not have prosciutto, any thinly sliced ham can be used as a substitute.
