Ingredients
- 227 g package spaghetti (8 oz)

Instructions
- Warm up the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
- Fill a large pot with water, add a bit of salt, and bring to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until it is al dente, stirring occasionally, which should take around 12 minutes.
- In the meantime, place the chicken fillets into the air fryer basket.
- Cook the chicken in the air fryer for 6 minutes, then turn them over and continue cooking for another 6 minutes on the opposite side. Spread the marinara sauce over the cooked fillets. Place slices of mozzarella on top of each fillet. Air fry until the cheese is bubbly and melted, approximately 3 more minutes.
