Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- Heating times are approximate and will vary based on the thickness of your chicken cutlets and air fryer model.
- Always check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165-F with a digital meat thermometer before eating.
- Switch up the cheese! Don't like swiss cheese? Try Monterey Jack, cheddar, or whatever you have on hand.
- This is a great use of leftover ham. Slice it thinly and use it in place of deli slices.
