Try this gourmet twist on chicken breasts: Asparagus and cheese-stuffed chicken wrapped in crispy bacon, all made effortlessly in the air fryer.
Ingredients:
  • 3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning, or to taste
  • 3 slices Monterey Jack cheese
  • 6 spears fresh asparagus
  • 9 slices bacon
  • 12 wooden toothpicks
Instructions:
  • Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) following the manufacturer's guidelines.
  • Use paper towels to pat the chicken pieces dry. To butterfly, carefully slice the breasts horizontally through the middle using a sharp knife, starting at the thickest part. Be cautious not to cut all the way through, then open the two sides and spread them out like an open book.
  • Season both sides generously with zesty lemon-pepper seasoning. Add a slice of cheese on top of each chicken breast. Cut asparagus spears in half and layer 4 halves on the cheese. Carefully roll up the chicken, keeping the filling secure. Wrap each roll with 3 pieces of savory bacon, using toothpicks to hold the bacon in place.
  • Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts in the air fryer basket and air-fry for 15 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 15 minutes. Check for doneness by ensuring the center reaches 165°F (74°C) with an instant-read thermometer.
