Air Fryer Fajita Stuffed Chicken
Description
I had all the ingredients for fajitas, but instead of heating up my big oven, I decided to try a different version in the air fryer. Since my air fryer is small, I wanted to put as much filling as I could in each stuffed chicken breast. This worked nicely by cutting slits in the breasts and then filling them.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
- 1 small onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 1/2 medium green pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 ounces cheddar cheese, cut into 4 slices
- optional: salsa, sour cream, minced fresh cilantro, jalapeno slices and guacamole
Directions
- Preheat air fryer to 375°. Cut a pocket horizontally in the thickest part of each chicken breast. Fill with onion and green pepper. In a small bowl, combine olive oil and seasonings; rub over chicken.
- In batches, place chicken on greased tray in air-fryer basket. Cook 6 minutes. Top chicken with cheese slices; secure with toothpicks. Cook until a thermometer inserted in chicken reads at least 165°, 6-8 minutes longer. Discard toothpicks. If desired, serve with toppings of your choice.
