Ingredients & Variations

CHICKEN Choose breasts that are similar in size so they cook at the same rate. Skin on or skin off, they’ll still be juicy and flavorful! Try wrapping each breast in bacon and securing with toothpicks before air frying. The excess fat drips to the bottom so the bacon stays crispy!

FILLINGCream cheese and parmesan make up the base for this filling. Mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, Swiss, bleu cheese, or feta cheese crumbles can be added too.

VARIATIONS Spinach and chopped sundried tomatoes are just right in this recipe, but other veggie combos like sliced mushrooms, broccoli, kale, peas, diced bell peppers, or shredded brussels sprouts are great choices, too. Even a handful of bacon bits are delicious!

SEASONINGSGarlic elevates every dish and pre-made Italian seasonings are what bring this dish together along with a little salt and black pepper. Get creative and switch out for taco seasoning, ranch seasoning, or your favorite seasoning blend! Add some heat by sprinkling in some red pepper flakes or a pink of cayenne pepper.

How to Make Air Fryer Stuffed Chicken

Easy to make and decadently delish, this recipe comes together in a few easy steps:

1. Combine filling ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
2. Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally with a sharp knife, but not all the way through. Spread cream cheese mixture inside the pocket, (per recipe below) fold over and secure with a toothpick.
