Why You’ll Love It

This pizza offers a protein-rich twist on a classic comfort food, with tender chunks of seasoned chicken, melty mozzarella cheese, and a savory tomato sauce on a thin, crispy crust. Air frying transforms it into a golden, bubbling personal pizza with edge-to-edge crispness—no soggy microwaved base here.

Ingredients

• 1 frozen Vital Pursuit Chicken Mozzarella Pizza (do not thaw)

• Optional toppings: chili flakes, grated parmesan, drizzle of olive oil

• Optional sides: roasted vegetables, garlic breadsticks, or a garden salad

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the Air Fryer

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F for 3–5 minutes to help get a crisp, golden crust.

Prepare the Pizza

• Remove the pizza from all packaging—discard any plastic film and cardboard tray.

• Place the pizza directly in the air fryer basket or on a perforated parchment liner for easier cleanup.

Air Fry

• Air fry at 375°F for 6–8 minutes.

• At minute 6, check the crust for golden edges and bubbling cheese.

• Add 1–2 more minutes if needed based on your preferred level of crispness or the power of your air fryer.

Check for Doneness

• Chicken should be hot and cooked through.

• Cheese should be fully melted and slightly browned.

• Crust should be golden and crisp underneath.

• Let sit for 1–2 minutes before serving to allow the cheese to set slightly.

Pro Tips

• Add fresh basil or arugula after cooking for a pop of color and flavor.

• Want a little zing? Drizzle with balsamic glaze or spicy honey just before serving.

• Cooking two? Leave space between pizzas or cook one at a time for best results.

Serving Ideas

• Great pairings include:

  • A side of sautéed zucchini or mushrooms

  • Air-fried cauliflower bites with buffalo sauce

  • Iced green tea or sparkling lemon water

• Top with:

  • Red chili flakes

  • Dried oregano

  • Thinly sliced red onion (added after cooking)

Storage & Reheating

Storage

• Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Reheating

• Air Fryer: Reheat at 350°F for 2–3 minutes for best crispness.

• Microwave: Use only if necessary—expect softer crust.

• Oven or Toaster Oven: Bake at 375°F for 5–6 minutes until hot.

FAQs

Will the crust get crispy in an air fryer?
