Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper ground
  • 1 teaspoon italian herbs ground
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 4 chicken breast dried very well
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese freshly shredded, 113g
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese 246g
  • 18.5 ounces sun-dried tomato drained well and diced, 524g
  • 2 cups spinach finely chopped, baby
  • olive oil or cooking spray, spray form

Instructions

  1. Preheat air fryer to 375 degrees F / 190 degrees C and lightly spray the basket with oil. Combine the salt, pepper, Italian herbs, and paprika together in a small bowl and set it aside.
  2. Stir the mozzarella and ricotta together in a large bowl, then add in the spinach and sundried tomatoes until well combined.
  3. Carefully cut a slit in each of the chicken breasts to create a lengthwise pocket. Be sure not to cut all the way through.
  4. Season the inside and outside of the chicken breasts with the seasoning mixture.
  5. Gently open the pocket of each chicken breast and add stuff with 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture.
  6. Seal the pocket of the chicken with toothpicks and place into the air fryer basket.
  7. Air fry the stuffed chicken breasts for 15-20 minutes, or until an instant thermometer reads 165 degrees F / 94 degrees C when inserted into the thickest part of the chicken.
  8. During the last few minutes of cooking, spread any remaining ricotta mixture on top of the chicken.
  9. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Top with freshly minced parsley for garnish if desired.

Notes

  • Preheat the air fryer for best results.
  • Thoroughly dry the chicken breasts with paper towels before seasoning and stuffing.
  • Drain the sun-drain tomatoes well.
  • Use toothpicks to keep the stuffed chicken breast closed and prevent the filling from oozing out. 
  • Cook chicken until an instant read thermometer reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F / 74 degrees C when inserted into the thickest part of the chicken.
  • Temperatures of air fryers can vary depending on the make and model. Use the cooking time listed as a suggestion, check the chicken breasts for doneness, and adjust time as needed.
  • Allow the air fryer stuffed chicken to rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Storage - keep leftovers in an airtight container inside the fridge for 3 days.
