Ninja Foodi Chicken Breast Recipes

That is where I got the idea to make a sort of French onion chicken in Ninja Foodi meal. I always use onions for all the things since they are so cheap but pack a punch of flavor. Adding slices of cheese at the end gave it creaminess but still a great source of protein. Kids even love this one.

You can make some of these in a Ninja Foodi Grill too. If you have that one it comes with two functions. You can grill and air fry. That does cut down the meals you can make since you cannot pressure cook in it but is a nice option to “barbecue” when it is cold and rainy outside.

We will show you how to cook these kebabs you see here below too in the printable recipe card. Those can have all different sort of vegetables on the stick, use what is in season and your favorites.

Tip: Defrosting and cooking frozen chicken breasts in a pressure cooker is ideal for making shredded chicken but not fantastic for eating whole in my opinion.
