Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and place them on a cutting board.
2
Using a sharp knife, make 4-5 slits in each breast, cutting about 3/4 of the way through.

In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture evenly on the outside of the chicken breasts and inside the slits.

Drizzle olive oil over the seasoned chicken.

Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 350°F (180°C).

Lightly brush the air fryer basket with olive oil and place the 2 chicken pieces in it.
7
Cook the chicken for 6 minutes on each side.
8
Remove the chicken from the air fryer, stuff the slits with mozzarella slices and tomato half-moons, and then transfer the stuffed chicken back to the air fryer.
9
Cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
10
Place the cooked chicken on serving plates, drizzle with balsamic glaze, and garnish with whole fresh basil leaves. Serve hot.
