Instructions
- Pre-heat the air fryer to 400ºF.

- To make the salsa, place the diced red onion in a bowl of cold water and let it soak for at least 5 minutes. Drain and set aside. Combine the mango, pineapple, Jalapeño pepper, red pepper and red onion in a bowl. Add the lime juice, salt and cilantro leaves and toss well. Let the salsa sit for at least 5 minutes or chill until you are ready to serve.
- When potato skins have finished air-frying, fill each skin with a quarter of the chicken mixture. Air-fry the filled skins at 350°F for 4 minutes. Top with the Monterey Jack cheese and air-fry for an additional 2 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Top the potato skins with the mango salsa and serve.

The recipes are great. I too had a British Mum that cooked like yours. I loved her meals. I do not have an air fryer so can these recipes be done in the oven?
Hi Marjorie. Yes, these recipes can be done in the oven. I have an article in the cooking school on converting recipes to an air fryer here: https://bluejeanchef.com/cooking-school/converting-recipes-to-the-air-fryer/ In general, when cooking in the oven, increase the temperature by about 25ºF and cook for about 20% longer. If you have a rack that you can put on a baking sheet, put the food on that for best results.
