Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3/4 tsp  fresh baby spinach leaves
  • 1/4 cup roasted red peppers, diced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 3 tbsp finely diced red onion
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • Olive oil spray or cooking spray

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 360°F. Then pat the chicken dry. Use a sharp paring knife to make a horizontal slit in the side of each chicken breast (in the thickest part). This will be your pocket for the stuffing.

  • Season both sides of the chicken with the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In a mixing bowl, use your hands to combine the fresh spinach leaves, diced roasted red peppers, crumbled feta cheese, red onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
    Divide the spinach and feta mixture into each of the pockets you created in the chicken breasts. Use toothpicks to secure the edges if necessary.

  • Lightly spray the stuffed chicken breasts with olive oil spray on both sides. Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching.
