Equipment

Air Fryer

Ingredients

4 (4-6 oz) each chicken breasts
2 Tablespoons oil of choice
½ teaspoon EACH Italian seasoning, garlic powder, chili powder, black pepper, salt

For the filling

4 oz cream cheese at room temp
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese or favorite cheese
Optional add-in: 2 Tablespoons chopped sundried tomatoes, or pesto, or feta, or green chilis, or 1 cup chopped spinach

Instructions

Pre-heat air fryer to 375ºF. In a small bowl, combine the oil and seasoning and set aside. In another bowl, make the filling by combining the cream cheese, parmesan, mozzarella, and 2 tablespoons of your favorite add-in.
Lay the chicken breasts flat on a cutting board. Place one hand on top to hold in place and then slice 3/4 of the way through the chicken breast (be careful not to slice all the way through).
Spoon 1/4 of the cheese mixture into the middle of each chicken breast and fold so that the cream cheese mixture is sealed inside. Brush all sides of the chicken breasts with oil/seasoning mixture.
Transfer to the air fryer basket and cook for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through or until cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165ºF.

Notes

Storing leftovers:

Refrigerate: Allow the chicken to cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container. It can be stored for up to 3 days in the fridge.

To reheat: You can place your chicken in the oven and bake it at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes or until it’s heated through. Or reheat in the air fryer at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes or until it's heated through.
