30 minutes

Serves 7

Ingredients

1/2 bag (14 oz) Grown in Idaho^® Super Crispy Waffle Fries
3 Roma tomatoes
Fresh mozzarella, sliced
Pesto, to taste
1 chicken breast
Dry Italian seasoning
Salt & pepper, to taste

Directions

Cut the chicken breast into seven pieces, then pound each piece flat and season with dry Italian seasoning, salt, & pepper.
Prep fries according to package instructions.

AIR FRYER: Fill basket with half the frozen potatoes. Slide out basket halfway through cooking time and shake.

OVEN: Arrange frozen potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake until crispy. Stir halfway through cooking time to ensure even baking.
While the fries cook, grill the chicken over medium heat. After the first side is cooked, top each piece of chicken with a slice of tomato, and a slice of fresh mozzarella cheese. Cook remaining side through.
When chicken is fully cooked, carefully remove and place each piece over a large cooked waffle fry, then top with pesto. Add another large waffle fry on top and secure with a toothpick.
