Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken breast, salt, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, and parmesan cheese. Mix until fully combined.
  2. Lay out parchment paper and place a portion of the chicken mixture on it. Cover with another sheet and flatten to 1/4 inch thick.
  3. Peel back the top parchment layer. Spread marinara sauce on one half of each chicken disc, then add mozzarella, pepperoni, and spinach. Top with more mozzarella.
  4. Fold the chicken disc over the filling and pinch edges to seal tightly.
  5. Sprinkle sealed pockets with extra parmesan and dash of Italian seasoning. Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Place pockets in air fryer and cook for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch.
