Airfried Stuffed Chicken Recipes

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).

AIR FRYER STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat the air fryer to 360°F.
• Rub the outside of the chicken with olive oil and season with paprika, garlic powder, salt & pepper.
• Place in a single layer in the air fryer and cook 18-22 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165°F with an instant-read thermometer.

AIR FRIED BUTTERFLIED STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• 1. Using a very sharp knife, butterfly the chicken breasts by starting to cut at one side but don't cut the entire way through. Open the butterflied chicken (like a book).
• 2. Sprinkle a little salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Montreal Steak seasoning on both sides of the butterflied chicken, but don't overdo it.
• 3. On the right half, put a layer of the shredded cheese. On top of the cheese, put a layer of the broccoli florets, laying them tightly together, side by side. On top of the broccoli florets, put a light layer of the shredded cheese.
• 4. Carefully lift the left side of the butterflied chicken and cover the right side with the left side (as though you were closing a book.)
• 5. Using 5 or 6 toothpicks, "skewer" the chicken breasts through the upper layer of chicken down through the lower layer of chicken, all around the edges, to close them nice and tight.
• 6. Lightly season (to taste) the top of each chicken bundle with a little more salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Montreal Steak seasoning.
• 7. Roll each bundle of chicken, both top and bottom in a little flour, just enough to coat it. Then spray each side with olive oil cooking spray.
• 8. Place the chicken bundles inside the air fryer basket. Set the temperature to 356 (or as close to that as yours allows) and set it for 25 minutes. Press "start." At the halfway point, open the air fryer and turn the bundles over to the other side and resume cooking.
• 9. (I did remove mine from the air fryer when it had 2 minutes left on the timer because I felt that they were completely done at that point, but you can let it go the entire time.)
• 10. Remove chicken from the air fryer and place on the plate, remove toothpicks. Drizzle just a little ranch dressing over top of each bundle and enjoy!!!
• 11. ***Tip: Be careful how you season the outside of this recipe. This recipe is to be seasoned from the inside "out" rather than from the outside "in". So, go easy on the outer seasonings.

AIR FRYER STUFFED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Cut Swiss cheese into six 2 x 1/2 x 1/2-inch pieces.
• Set up breading station: place bread crumbs, 2 teaspoon sazonador seasoning, and 1 tablespoon flour in a shallow dish, place remaining flour and sazonador seasoning in a second shallow dish, and crack eggs into a third shallow dish. Whip eggs until yellow and frothy. Season eggs with salt and pepper.
• Take each piece of Swiss cheese and lay on top of 1 piece turkey meat. Wrap luncheon meat around Swiss cheese.
• Open up chicken thighs and place a turkey-cheese bundle into the middle of each one. Roll chicken thighs around bundles. Dip each into flour mixture to coat, then shake off excess. Dip into egg, then shake off excess. Finally, dip into bread crumb mixture and press breading into the chicken.
• Place chicken bundles seam-side down into the air fryer. Spray chicken bundles with nonstick spray.
• Reduce air fryer temperature to to 380 degrees F (193 degrees C) and air fry chicken for 15 minutes. Turn bundles over, spray with nonstick spray and drop air fryer temperature to 370 degrees F (187 degrees C). Air fry until chicken is cooked through, an additional 8 minutes. Serve immediately.
