The brine for the chicken does make this more moist and flavorful, but if you’re in a rush you can absolutely skip this step.
When you add the cheese to the chicken, just place it back in the air fryer with the basket closed. No need to turn the air fryer on. The residual heat will melt the cheese without blowing it around.
