# Instructions:
01 -
In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup cooked chicken breast, 1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup marinara sauce (for filling), 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional), 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper. This forms the delicious core of your Crispy Air Fryer Pizza Rolls: Protein Packed Party Snack.
02 -
Lay out 24 wonton wrappers on a clean, dry surface. Have a small bowl of water ready to moisten the edges. This setup ensures efficient assembly for your Crispy Air Fryer Pizza Rolls.
03 -
Place about 1 tablespoon of the chicken-cheese mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper. Dip your finger in water and moisten all four edges of the wrapper. Fold one corner over the filling to meet the opposite corner, forming a triangle, pressing firmly to seal.
04 -
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). While it preheats, lightly spray the basket with olive oil cooking spray to prevent sticking. This ensures a perfectly crispy exterior for your Crispy Air Fryer Pizza Rolls: Protein Packed Party Snack.
05 -
Arrange the pizza rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don't touch. Lightly spray the tops of the rolls with olive oil cooking spray. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
06 -
Carefully remove the hot Crispy Air Fryer Pizza Rolls: Protein Packed Party Snack from the air fryer. Serve immediately with the remaining 1/2 cup marinara sauce (For Dipping) on the side. Enjoy this protein-packed party snack!
# Notes:
01 -
For a vegetarian option, swap the cooked chicken breast for 1 cup of sautéed mushrooms or crumbled plant-based ground "meat."
02 -
Leftover pizza rolls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes until crispy.
03 -
You can assemble the pizza rolls ahead of time and store them uncooked in the refrigerator for a few hours, covered. Add a minute or two to the air frying time if cooking from cold.
04 -
A pinch of dried basil or a dash of Worcestershire sauce can add another layer of flavor to the filling mixture.
