How to Make Pepper Jack Chicken in an Air Fryer

Cris here.

We love the flavors of fresh vegetables, chicken and pepper jack cheese. We have made a Crock Pot Pepper Jack Chicken for years. This air fryer dish is a little different but very similar. We absolutely love whipping this up in the air fryer for a quick lunch for 2 or 3 people.

Notes on Air Fryer Pepper Jack Chicken

• We made our dish in our Ninja Foodi, however you can make it in any air fryer.
• You can use any boneless skinless chicken cut into bite sized pieces. In the video we used chicken tenders. We have also used chicken thighs before.
• As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
