Review summary

Updated on Mar 2026
  • Flavor: Many enjoyed the tasty blend of Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic, onion, basil, and tomato. Some found the garlic mix too strong.
  • Ease of prep: Air frying made prep and cleanup easy for some, but others found it more trouble than using a sheet pan in the oven.
  • Suggestions: Consider cooking zucchini separately if air fryer space is limited. Adjust cooking time and temperature as needed for your air fryer.
  • Portions: A few noted the zucchini portion was smaller than expected; consider adding extra vegetables if desired.
  • Texture: The farro was chewy for some; others appreciated the crispy chicken paired with tender-crisp zucchini.
