- Divide filling over the chicken breasts and secure with a toothpick.
- Preheat the air fryer to 360°F.

Cup of Yum
Notes
- I do not add additional salt to the filling as I find the feta to be salty enough. Once mixed, you can taste the filling and add salt and pepper to taste.
- This recipe is for 5-6 oz chicken breasts.If your chicken is larger or smaller cooking time will need to be adjusted. Appliances can vary, check the chicken with a thermometer early.
- Do not cut the chicken breasts all of the way through. Seal with a toothpick and ensure you remove all of the toothpicks before serving.
- Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer until heated through.
- No Air Fryer? No Problem! These stuffed chicken breasts can be baked in the oven at 375°F for 32-37 minutes or until they reach 165°F.
