Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground Italian herbs
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 4 chicken breasts dried very well
- 2 cups (113g) mozzarella cheese freshly shredded
- 1 cup (246g) ricotta cheese
- 18.5 ounces (524g) sun-dried tomatoes drained well and diced
- 2 cups (60g) baby spinach finely chopped
- Olive oil spray or cooking spray
Instructions
- 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.
- Stir the mozzarella and ricotta together in a large bowl, then add in the spinach and sundried tomatoes until well combined.
- Carefully cut a slit in each of the chicken breasts to create a lengthwise pocket. Be sure not to cut all the way through.
- Season the inside and outside of the chicken breasts with the seasoning mixture.
- Gently open the pocket of each chicken breast and add stuff with 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture.
- Seal the pocket of the chicken with toothpicks and place into the air fryer basket.
- 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.
- During the last few minutes of cooking, spread any remaining ricotta mixture on top of the chicken.
- 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.
