Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4-6 strips of bacon (thin cut works best)
1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
1/2 cup fresh spinach or chopped mushrooms (optional for extra flavor)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
Toothpicks (to secure the bacon wrap)
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken:
Carefully slice each chicken breast lengthwise to create a pocket,
being careful not to cut all the way through.
Stuff the Chicken: Sprinkle garlic powder,
paprika, salt, and pepper inside each chicken breast.
Stuff each breast with a handful of shredded cheese and spinach or mushrooms if using.
Wrap with Bacon:
Wrap each stuffed chicken breast with 1-2 strips of bacon,
securing with toothpicks to hold everything in place.
Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Cook: Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway,
until the bacon is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Serve: Let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes, then remove the toothpicks and serve.
Tips
If the bacon isn’t crispy enough,
cook for an extra minute or two.
Serve with a side of roasted vegetables,
mashed potatoes, or a simple salad for a complete meal.
