Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 to 8 oz each)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed very dry
  • 1/4 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Olive oil spray
  • Toothpicks

Method
 

  1. Mix the cream cheese, spinach, garlic, mozzarella, Parmesan, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper until smooth.
  2. Cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast. Season inside and out with the remaining salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stuff with the filling and secure with toothpicks.
  3. Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Spray the basket, place chicken in a single layer, and air fry for 16 minutes, flipping halfway, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  4. Rest the chicken for 3 to 5 minutes, remove toothpicks, then slice and serve with any escaped filling spooned over the top.

Notes

Resting time is not included in the prep or cook times. Remove all toothpicks before serving. Air fryer models vary, so start checking the temperature a couple of minutes early.
