Step 1

Preheat Air Fryer to 360 degrees.

Step 2

Mix together garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spray chicken on both sides with avocado oil spray then rub with the spices. Place in the Air Fryer and cook for 6 minutes.

Step 3

Flip chicken over and brush each side with evenly with BBQ sauce then top with cheese and bacon. (It works out to be about 1 tbsp of sauce, 2 tbsp of cheese, and 1 slice of center cut bacon per piece of chicken if you want to be super accurate)

Step 4

Continue to cook chicken in the Air Fryer for an additional 6-8 minutes. *It really depends on the thickness of your chicken how much longer it will need. I always recommend using a meat thermometor to temp your chicken to determine if its done or not. I take it out around 162ish degrees and set on a plate for a few minutes to finish cooking and let the juices redistribute.

Step 5

If you choose to, top them off with chopped tomatoes and green onions or pico de gallo.
