Air Fryer Pizza Stuffed Chicken Breasts Recipes

AIR FRYER PIZZA-STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Cut a shallow slice lengthwise down each chicken breast. Fold chicken breasts in half and cut 2 more shallow slices horizontally. The pocket will resemble an upside down "T".
• Rub each chicken breast with 1 teaspoon oil and season with Italian seasoning and garlic salt.
• Stuff each chicken breast with 1/2 of the fresh mozzarella, pepperoni, onion, and pizza sauce. Transfer to the air fryer basket.
• Air fry until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 18 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

AIR FRYER STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat until hot. Add onion; cook and stir until softened, about 3 minutes. Add red bell pepper and mushrooms, and cook, stirring occasionally, for an additional 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and stir in chopped spinach and garlic. Continue stirring until the spinach is slightly wilted. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
• Stir in feta cheese crumbles, breaking up any large pieces.
• Pat chicken pieces dry and place on a secure cutting board. Cut a 'pocket' into each breast by inserting a knife in the thickest part of the breast and slicing parallel to the cutting board, leaving about 1 inch at each tip. Be careful not cut all the way through the thinnest edge of the breast.
• Preheat the air fryer to 370 degrees F (190 degrees C) if preheating is recommended by the manufacturer.
• Separate prosciutto slices and place on a clean prep surface. Place 2 tablespoons of vegetable-feta mixture on top and roll around the filling, creating an oblong bundle. Tuck 1 prosciutto-wrapped bundle into each sliced chicken breast, and close the opening with toothpicks.
• Combine Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, parsley, salt, and pepper on a plate. Dip each stuffed chicken breast into beaten egg, then dredge in breadcrumb mixture. Spray with avocado oil spray.
• Transfer to the air fryer basket and cook until browned, about 15 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

BACON-WRAPPED STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS IN THE AIR FRYER

Steps:

• Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) if recommended by manufacturer.
• Pat chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Use a sharp knife slice horizontally through the middle, beginning at the thickest part, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like an open book.
• Season both sides with lemon-pepper seasoning. Place 1 slice of cheese on each chicken breast. Cut asparagus spears in half and place 4 halves on top of the cheese. Roll the chicken up and over the cheese and asparagus, keeping the stuffing inside each roll. Wrap each chicken breast with 3 pieces of bacon, using wooden toothpicks to secure the bacon, where it overlaps.
• Place each bacon-wrapped breast in the air fryer basket and air fry for 15 minutes. Turn and cook for 15 minutes more. Test chicken for doneness; an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should reach 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
