    AIR FRYER INSTRUCTIONS:
    1. Place chicken breasts in a preheated air fryer for about 20 minutes or until done and browned.

    Notes

    **If no fresh basil is available, 1 teaspoon basil pesto per breast can be used in its place. I count it as my 1 oil teaspoon and leave the olive oil out of the recipe.
