Description

Delicious and juicy stuffed chicken breasts cooked to perfection in the air fryer.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine chopped spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Using a sharp knife, create a pocket in each chicken breast by slicing horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  4. Stuff each chicken breast with the spinach and cheese mixture, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
  5. Spray the outside of the chicken breasts with olive oil spray and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  7. Cook in the air fryer for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is golden brown.
  8. Remove from the air fryer and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize the stuffing with your favorite ingredients such as sun-dried tomatoes or different herbs.
  • Ensure the chicken is completely cooked through by using a meat thermometer.
