mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

pine nuts

🥗Healthier: walnuts

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Walnuts are a more affordable nut option that still provides crunch.

Spread a mix of cream cheese, green pesto, and Parmesan cheese evenly along the inside of the chicken breasts.

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.

Cook the chicken in an air fryer for 18-20 minutes until fully cooked.

Coat the asparagus with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Roast the asparagus lightly alongside the chicken in the air fryer.
