Fajita
Stuffed Chicken Recipe
I
had all the ingredients for fajitas, but instead of heating up my big oven I
decided to try out the air fryer. Since mine is a small one, I wanted to get 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
tablespoon olive oil
1
tablespoon chili powder
1
teaspoon ground cumin
1/2
teaspoon salt
1/4
teaspoon garlic powder
1
small onion, halved and thinly sliced
1/2
medium green pepper, thinly sliced
4
ounces cheddar cheese, cut into 4 slices
Optional:
salsa, sour cream, minced fresh cilantro, jalapeno slices and guacamole
How
To Make Fajita Stuffed Chicken :
Preheat
air fryer to 375°. Using a sharp knife, cut a slit, 1/2 in. deep, down center
of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way though. In a small
bowl, combine olive oil and seasonings; rub over chicken. Fill opening with
onion and green pepper.
In
batches, place chicken on greased tray in air-fryer basket. Cook 6 minutes; top
chicken with cheese slices. Cook until a thermometer inserted in chicken reads
at least 165°, 6-8 minutes longer. If desired, serve with toppings of your
choice.
