Air Fried Stuffed Chicken Breast

Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup of cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup of diced sun-dried tomatoes (drained if packed in oil)
• 1/4 cup of chopped spinach (fresh or frozen, thawed and drained)
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon of dried basil
• 1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil spray

Instructions:

1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, garlic, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing them horizontally, but not all the way through, so they can open like a book.
4. Divide the cream cheese mixture evenly between the two chicken breasts, spreading it on one side of each breast.
5. Close the chicken breasts, pressing the edges firmly to seal the filling inside.
6. Lightly spray the stuffed chicken breasts with olive oil spray.
7. Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between them for air circulation.
8. Air fry the stuffed chicken breasts at 375°F (190°C) for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and the outside is golden brown and crispy.
9. Once cooked, remove the stuffed chicken breasts from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
10. Serve the air-fried stuffed chicken breasts hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
