Crisp golden toast pockets with a juicy, creamy chicken and mushroom filling are the ultimate quick comfort food, and the air fryer does all the hard work. Each bite crackles on the outside and melts warm and savory inside, making them perfect for lunch, snacks or a fun family dinner.

Ingredients
- Toast bread
- Processed cheese slices
- Cooked chicken breast
- Mushrooms
- Cream
- For the coating: eggs, pinch of salt, breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Flatten a bread slice with a rolling pin; trim the crusts.
- Place processed cheese and filling in the center (here: chicken with mushrooms in cream).
- Cover with a second slice; crimp the edges with a fork.
- Dip in beaten egg with salt, then breadcrumbs.
- Air-fry at 175°C (350°F) for about 12 minutes. Result: crispy outside, juicy warm filling inside.
Tips
- Press the edges firmly with a fork so the filling stays sealed while air-frying.
- Do not overfill the pockets, or the bread may split and leak.
