Ingredients

• 2 slices of sandwich bread
• ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 6–8 slices pepperoni
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 2 tbsp tomato purée
• ½ tsp grated garlic
• ½ tsp dried Italian herbs
• 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 boneless chicken thighs (skin-on for extra crispiness)
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp Shaoxing wine (optional)
• 1 tsp grated ginger
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• ½ tsp white pepper
• 1 egg (beaten)
• ½ cup cornstarch
• ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 tbsp cooking oil (to coat for air frying)
• 1 bunch broccolini
• 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
• Pinch of salt
• Pinch of black pepper
• 1 corn
• 7-15g butter

Directions

1. Cut the cleaned corn in half and place half slice of butter on top of each
2. Place corn on the rack of the lower basket
3. Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 12-15 minutes and remember to flip corn halfway.
4. Mix all sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
5. Spread sauce on one slice of bread.
6. Add mozzarella, pepperoni, then top with second slice of bread.
7. Place pizza on the second layer of the lower basket
8. Repeat the same on the top side: sauce → cheese → pepperoni.
9. Air fry at 180°C for 7 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and bread is golden.
10. Prepare the Chicken Cutlet
11. Marinate the chicken thighs with soy sauce, sesame oil, Shaoxing wine, ginger, garlic, and white pepper for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for better flavor).
12. Dredge the marinated chicken in cornstarch, then dip it in the beaten egg, and coat it with panko breadcrumbs, pressing down gently.
13. Lightly spray or brush with cooking oil to help with crispiness.
14. Air Fry the Chicken
15. Place the breaded chicken on the rack of the upper basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
16. Air-fry at 180°C for 10 minutes, then flip and air-fry for another 5-7 minutes at 200°C (390°F) until golden brown and crispy.
17. Toss broccolini with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
18. Place on the 2nd layer of the upper basket to catch the chicken drippings from above — for an extra boost of flavor.
19. Air fry broccolini at 180°C for 7–8 mins until edges are crisp.
