Ingredients
  

Stuffing
  • 30 ml Olive Oil
  • 5 g Butter melted
  • 2 cloves Garlic Cloves minced
  • 150 g Button Mushrooms thickly sliced
  • 0.5 tsp Italian Seasoning Blend
  • 3 pieces Chicken Breasts skinless, boneless
  • 1 cup Spinach Leaves loosely packed, roughly chopped
  • 75 g Mozzarella Cheese grated
  • 1.5 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

  1. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan and add mushrooms and garlic. Toss the mushrooms on high heat for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add the Italian seasoning blend and ½ teaspoon salt and cook for 2-3 minutes till they are golden brown and slightly crispy around the edges. Remove in a bowl and set aside.
  3. To stuff the chicken breasts, butterfly the chicken (or slice it in half without slicing it all the way through). Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides.
  4. On one side, place a tablespoon or two of mushrooms, top with a handful of spinach leaves and then finally sprinkle ¼ grated cheese. Fold the other side of the chicken breast on top and then secure it in place with a toothpick.
  5. Brush the remaining oil and butter on the chicken breasts and sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides.
  6. Transfer the chicken breasts to the air fryer baskets. Cook the breasts at 180°C on each side for 3-4 minutes depending on the size. Remove on a plate and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure to not overcook the chicken breasts in the air fryer as they may dry out. Use toothpicks to keep the stuffing intact.
