Ingredients

  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 ounces of cream cheese softened
  • 1 1/2 cup of chopped spinach
  • 1/2 cup of mozzarella
  • 1/4 cup of parmesan
  • 3 tablespoon diced roasted red pepper
  • 2 tablespoons of mayo
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic 1 to 2 cloves
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder

Instructions
 

  • Season your chicken with salt and pepper to taste. 
  • Combine your filling: cream cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, mayo, garlic, spinach and roasted red peppers. 
  • Combine your seasonings: paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. 
  • Filet your chicken breast lengthwise, without cutting all the way through. Lay your chicken breast open and season with ½ to 1 teaspoon of the seasoning. Then spread about ½ cup of the spinach and cheese mixture on one side. Fold your chicken breast over and then piece toothpicks along the seam to try and keep as much spinach and cheese inside as it cooks. Sprinkle the top of your chicken with additional seasoning. 
  • Brush olive oil in your air fryer basket, as the nonstick spray is shown to cause your basket to wear faster. Preheat your air fryer at 380 degrees F. 
  • Then lay two breasts in at a time, cooking in batches if you cannot fit all 3. Cook for 15 to 18 minutes till a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F.
