Air Fryer Stuffed Chicken Breasts are filled with a rich and creamy filling of cream cheese and feta and spinach. They’re placed in the air fryer until golden brown and juicy on the inside. While this dinner looks fancy, it’s actually really easy to prepare and can be made ahead of time.
Easy Air Fryer Chicken
This is an easy twist on air fryer chicken breasts and can be prepared ahead of time. This easy chicken recipe can be prepped, cooked, and on the table in less than 30 minutes! Swap out the filling for your own favorite flavors, cheeses, and add-ins (make stuffed chicken with everything from mushrooms to stuffing). This stuffed chicken is elegant enough for a dinner party but fast enough for a quick weeknight dinner! The air fryer cooks in less time with easy clean-up, making every meal a breeze!
Ingredients & Variations
CHICKEN Boneless, skinless breasts are our favorite choice but you can cook bone-in chicken breasts in the air fryer. Rather than rolling the chicken breasts, I find it easier to cut a slit in the side and fill it (for either bone-in or boneless chicken). FILLING The cheese filling is really where the flavor is! Cream cheese and feta are a perfect combination along with spinach and diced bell peppers. Diced ham, crumbled bacon bits, fried mushrooms, or sun-dried tomatoes will all add a new dimension to this dish! SEASONINGS Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and season. I use paprika and garlic powder but you can use chicken Seasoning or Italian Seasoning or another favorite seasoning blend from your cupboard. VARIATIONS For a new flavor profile, wrap the outside of the filled chicken breasts with slices of raw bacon and secure them with toothpicks before air frying.

Best Air Fryer Tips
Always preheat the air fryer before cooking. Be sure to place the chicken pieces with enough space between them for the air to circulate making them crispy all around. Let the cream cheese come to room temperature for easier mixing. Ensure the chicken doesn’t overcook, it should reach 165°F with a thermometer.
