Air Fryer Parmesan-Crusted Stuffed Chicken Breasts
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup diced fresh mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 slices prosciutto
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • avocado oil cooking spray
Instructions
1
Create the filling:
2
Heat olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until it becomes tender, about 3 minutes. Add bell pepper and mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften, about 3 minutes.
3
Remove from heat and stir in spinach and garlic; continue stirring until the spinach is slightly tender. Add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Allow it to cool for 10 minutes. Stir in feta cheese, breaking up any large pieces.
4
Prepare the chicken:
5
Pat the chicken dry and place it on a clean surface. Cut a pocket in each breast by inserting a knife into the thickest part of the breast and slicing parallel to the surface, leaving about 1 inch at each tip. Be careful not to cut all the way through the thinnest edge of the breast.
6
Preheat an air fryer to 370 degrees F (190 degrees C) if recommended by the manufacturer's instructions.
7
Separate prosciutto slices and place them on a clean surface. Place 2 tablespoons of the filling onto each slice; roll prosciutto around the filling to create an oblong bundle. Tuck one bundle into each sliced chicken breast and close the opening with a few toothpicks.
8
Place beaten egg into a shallow dish. Combine Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, parsley, salt, and pepper in another shallow dish. Dip each stuffed chicken breast into the beaten egg, then coat it with the bread crumb mixture. Spray both sides with cooking spray and place into the air fryer basket.
9
Cook the chicken in the preheated air fryer until browned, about 15 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of meat should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
