Equipment
- Cutting board cutting board
- Air fryer
- Bowl
Ingredients
- 300 gr creamy cheese softened
- 8 pieces bacon cooked thoroughly
- 3 pcs bell peppers of any color
- 1.5 cup grated cheese
- 1.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 teaspoon pepper
- 1.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 pcs chicken breasts large
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 1.5 cup panko bread crumbs
- 3 pcs eggs
Instructions
Create the creamy filling
- Start by mixing the cream cheese, thoroughly cooked bacon, chopped peppers, and half of the spices in a bowl. This mixture will create the delicious filling that will enhance your chicken breasts.
Stuff the Chicken Breast
- Make a cut along the side of each chicken breast, creating a pocket without cutting all the way through the breast. Fill this pocket with the cheese and bacon filling, spreading it evenly among the three breasts.
Create the crispy coating
- In a bowl, mix the remaining half of the spices with the cornstarch. In another bowl, beat the eggs to create a batter. Finally, in a third bowl, add the panko bread crumbs.
- Proceed to coat each chicken breast by first dipping in the cornstarch mixture, then in the beaten eggs, and finally in the panko. Ensure the filling is well wrapped during this step to prevent it from escaping during cooking.
Cooking in Air Fryer
- Lightly spray an air fryer basket with oil, then place the stuffed chicken breasts with the filling facing up. Gently press to create a flat base.
- Cook the chicken breasts in the air fryer at 180°C for about 18 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Once ready, let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
