Ingredients

  • chicken tenders (such as Just Bare® lightly breaded chicken breast strips)
  • 1(22 ounce) jarmarinara sauce (such as Rao’s Homemade®)
  • mozzarella cheese slices
  • sliced fresh basil leaves, for garnish

  • Directions

    Preheat an air fryer to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C). Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a large casserole dish.

    Place frozen chicken pieces in the basket of the air fryer in a single layer. Air fry until golden, about 13 minutes. You may have to work in batches.

    Meanwhile, place mozzarella cheese slices between parchment paper and roll thin with a rolling pin; set aside.

    Pour half of marinara sauce into the prepared casserole dish.

    Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven to warm the sauce, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven; nestle chicken tenders into the sauce. If desired, spread remaining marinara sauce over tenders. Place cheese slices evenly over top of casserole.

    Bake until cheese is golden and melted, about 15 minutes. Add cut basil strips to the top for garnish. Serve immediately.
