Air Fryer Stouffer’s Melt-Fulls Grilled Chicken Parmesan

Why You’ll Love It

Stouffer’s Melt-Fulls Grilled Chicken Parmesan is a handheld, stuffed sandwich-style meal packed with grilled white meat chicken, marinara sauce, and melty mozzarella cheese inside a soft, golden crust. When air-fried, the exterior crisps up like a toasted panini while the inside becomes deliciously hot and gooey—no microwave sogginess here.

Ingredients

• 1 frozen Stouffer’s Melt-Fulls Grilled Chicken Parmesan sandwich (do not thaw)

• Optional: extra marinara sauce for dipping

• Optional sides: Caesar salad, roasted vegetables, or garlic potato wedges

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F for 3–5 minutes so the crust cooks evenly and crisps properly.

Prepare the Melt

• Remove the sandwich from all packaging, including the plastic wrap and crisping sleeve.

• No need to cut or pierce—just place directly in the air fryer basket.

Air Fry

• Cook at 375°F for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through at the 6–7 minute mark.

• Crust should turn golden brown and feel firm to the touch.

• Internal filling should be steaming hot, cheesy, and fully melted.

Check for Doneness

• Internal temperature should reach 165°F.

• The outer shell should be lightly crispy without burning.

• Let rest for 1–2 minutes before serving—filling will be hot!

Pro Tips

• For an extra crispy exterior, spray a light mist of olive oil on the melt before air frying.

• Serve with warmed marinara, ranch, or garlic butter dip for added flavor.

• Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket—leave space around the sandwich for proper air circulation.

Serving Ideas

• Pair with:

  • Caesar or caprese salad

  • Garlic roasted potatoes or fries

  • Zucchini or green beans tossed with Parmesan

• Dipping sauces:

  • Warm marinara

  • Garlic aioli

  • Spicy ranch

Storage & Reheating

Storage

• Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheating

• Air Fryer: 350°F for 4–5 minutes

• Microwave: Not recommended—will lose crispness

• Oven: 375°F for 8–10 minutes
