Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Chicken Breasts in the Air Fryer Recipe

3 skinless

boneless chicken breasts

1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning

or to taste

3 slices Monterey Jack cheese

6 spears fresh asparagus

9 slices bacon

12 wooden toothpicks

Hasselback Air Fryer Potatoes

Tips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) if recommended by manufacturer.

Step 2

Pat chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Use a sharp knife slice horizontally through the middle beginning at the thickest part being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like an open book.

Step 3

Season both sides with lemon-pepper seasoning. Place 1 slice of cheese on each chicken breast. Cut asparagus spears in half and place 4 halves on top of the cheese. Roll the chicken up and over the cheese and asparagus keeping the stuffing inside each roll. Wrap each chicken breast with 3 pieces of bacon using wooden toothpicks to secure the bacon where it overlaps.

Step 4

Place each bacon-wrapped breast in the air fryer basket and air fry for 15 minutes. Turn and cook for 15 minutes more. Test chicken for doneness; an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should reach 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
