Method

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (350°F) and let it reach temperature while you prepare the chicken.

  2. Pat the thinly sliced chicken fillets dry with paper towels; this helps the oil and seasoning adhere.

  3. Lightly brush each fillet on both sides with olive oil.

  4. Spread a thin, even layer of Philadelphia cream cheese over the top side of each fillet.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Cream cheese forms a thin even layer over each fillet. Spread gently so it stays on the surface.

  5. In a small bowl, combine paprika, dried garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper; sprinkle the mixture evenly over the cream‑cheese‑topped fillets.

  6. Scatter the chopped green onion over the seasoned fillets for added freshness.

  7. Place the prepared fillets in a single layer in the air‑fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap; you may need to cook in two batches.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Fillets sit in one layer without overlapping. Cook in batches if needed for airflow.

  8. Air‑fry for 8 minutes, then open the basket, flip each fillet gently, and continue cooking for another 9 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 167°F (165°F) and the exterior is golden‑brown.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Exterior is golden and center is cooked through. Check the thickest fillet before removing the batch.

  9. While the chicken finishes cooking, slice the tomatoes and set them aside for garnish.

  10. When the chicken is done, remove it from the basket and let it rest for 2 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Juices settle during the brief rest. Let the chicken rest before plating.

  11. Plate the fillets, top with sliced mushrooms (optional: quickly warm them in the air fryer for 2 minutes if desired), and garnish with the fresh tomato slices.

  12. Serve immediately while hot, optionally with a side salad or steamed vegetables.
