Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 3 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts about 1-1.5 lbs
- 1-1 ½ lb bacon
Filling
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 10 oz frozen spinach thawed & squeezed to remove the liquid
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 2 garlic cloves minced
Instructions
- Squeeze all the liquid out of the spinach and place in a bowl. Add cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella, garlic, salt, pepper and mix well.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry. Slice horizontally at the thickest part, making sure to not cut all the way through. Open the chicken breast (like a book). Place the filler on top of the cut side of the breast (you should have enough for 3 breasts) and fold. Wrap 5-8 bacons around the breasts (optional: use a toothpick to secure the bacon).
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F.
- Place the the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket. Cook for 20 minutes (flip half way) or until the internal temp reaches ~165°F.
