Air Fryer Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Feta and Spinach

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Air Fryer Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Feta and Spinach.

1. Step 1

   To start, grab a small skillet and warm up some olive oil over medium heat.

2. Step 2

   Toss in the diced red onion and sauté it until it becomes tender, which should take about three minutes.

3. Step 3

   Next, add the diced red bell pepper and mushrooms to the mix, cooking them until they soften, which will take another three minutes.

4. Step 4

   Once everything is nicely cooked, take the skillet off the heat and stir in the chopped spinach and minced garlic.

5. Step 5

   Keep stirring until the spinach wilts just a bit.

6. Step 6

   Season this delicious mixture with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.

7. Step 7

   Let it cool for about ten minutes, then gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese, breaking up any larger pieces as you go.

8. Step 8

   Now, let’s prepare the chicken breasts.

9. Step 9

   Pat them dry and place them on a cutting board.

10. Step 10

    Carefully create a pocket in each breast by inserting a knife into the thickest part and slicing parallel to the board, making sure to leave about an inch at each end.

11. Step 11

    Be cautious not to cut all the way through the thinner edge; we want to keep that pocket intact.

12. Step 12

    If your air fryer needs preheating, set it to 370°F (190°C) now.

13. Step 13

    While that’s warming up, lay out the prosciutto slices on a clean surface.

14. Step 14

    Take about two tablespoons of your flavorful filling and place it onto each slice, then roll the prosciutto around the filling to form a neat little bundle.

15. Step 15

    Tuck one of these bundles into each chicken breast pocket and secure the opening with toothpicks to keep everything snug.

16. Step 16

    In a shallow bowl, beat an egg until it’s nice and frothy.

17. Step 17

    In another shallow bowl, mix together Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, parsley, salt, and pepper.

18. Step 18

    Dip each stuffed chicken breast into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge it in the bread crumb mixture, ensuring it’s well-coated.

19. Step 19

    Give both sides a light spray with cooking spray before placing them in the air fryer basket.

20. Step 20

    Cook the chicken in your preheated air fryer for about 15 minutes on each side, or until they’re beautifully browned and an instant-read thermometer shows that the center has reached at least 165°F (74°C).

21. Step 21

    Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as you await this scrumptious meal!.
