Air Fryer Broccoli and Cheese Stuffed Chicken

Step 1

Start by laying out the chicken on a cutting board. Liberally season your chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Then use a knife and cut a hole into the side of the chicken. To make the filling: Diced the broccoli into small pieces. Then add it to a microwave-safe bowl and add about two tablespoons of water, place the bowl, holding the broccoli and water in the microwave, and set the time for 1 minute. (this will steam the broccoli)

Step 3

Remove the broccoli from the microwave and mix in the cheese; mix well.

Step 4

Then use your fingers and stuff your chicken breast with the broccoli and cheese mixture. I used toothpicks to keep the filling in.

Step 5

Spray the inside of your basket or your air fryer tray with olive oil and place the chicken breasts on top.

Step 6

Spray your chicken GENEROUSLY with olive oil spray and then set the time for 12 minutes at 350 degrees F

Step 7

After checking your chicken with the meat thermometer, and if it isn’t 165 degrees F, return to air fryer spray again with olive oil. Set the timer for another 5 minutes. After the additional 5 minutes, use your meat thermometer to make sure that the chicken is fully cooked.

Step 8

Plate, serve, and enjoy!
