Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 300 g cherry tomatoes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 40 g grated parmesan or as much as you like
- Fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts and cherry tomatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss to coat.
- Add the dried mixed herbs, paprika, salt and pepper, then toss again until everything is evenly coated.
- Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket, scattering the cherry tomatoes around and between the chicken.
- Air fry at 190°C for 15 minutes, turning the chicken over halfway through and shaking the basket to move the tomatoes around.
- Check the chicken is cooked through (it should reach 75°C in the thickest part).
- Sprinkle the parmesan over the chicken and air fry for a further 1–2 minutes, until the cheese has melted and is just starting to turn golden.
- Leave to rest for a couple of minutes, then sprinkle with the chopped parsley before serving.
