Ingredients
Method
- 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.
