The Crispi Kitchen: Cheesy Lemon Pepper Pesto Chicken

Using the Ninja Crispi I tried this chicken recipe. I seasoned the chicken with lemon pepper but you can change the base seasoning if desired. 

The ingredients:

Boneless  chicken breast

Avocado oil

Lemon pepper seasoning

Pesto

Mozzarella cheese

The recipe:

I sliced the tops of the chicken (not necessary).

In a ziploc, combine chicken, avocado oil, and seasoning. Rub around to coat and marinate for 30 minutes.

Add chicken to Ninja crispi and air fry for 10 minutes (bottom up).

Flip and air fry 5 minutes.

Remove and top with pesto and cheese.

Add back and air fry for another 5 min. 

Rest for 5-10 minutes.

Notes:

You can use any spice that pairs well with pesto. Italian and greek seasoning would do well.

You can also replace mozzarella with parmesan or provolone but melting may be different especially the parmesan.

Using the lemon pepper made this very lemony. I used a good amount vutting back may make it a bit less citrus.

You can add some extra pesto if desired at end.
