Air Fryer Stuffed Chicken Breasts and Mushrooms

Stuffed with big flavour thanks to a simple combination of kitchen staples, these air fryer stuffed chicken breasts will be a fast favourite. And the bonus stuffed mushrooms (because all the filling was too much for the chicken breasts) were so good you could just fill a bunch of mushrooms with the stuffing and skip the chicken altogether for an easy appetizer.

Ingredients:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/4 cup cottage cheese

1/4 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar

1 tbsp finely chopped red bell pepper

1/4 cup chopped spinach 

1/4 cup chopped mushrooms

2 tbsps parmesan cheese

2 tsps minced garlic

salt and pepper to taste

1 tsp olive oil

1/2 tsp dry oregano

1/4 tsp fennel seed

pinch red pepper flakes

a few extra mushrooms for stuffing

Combine all the filling ingredients. Slice a pocket into the chicken breasts and stuff each with approximately 1/2 cup of the filling. Use the rest in the mushrooms. Tie the chicken breasts with kitchen twine. Spray the air fryer basket with a little oil along with a light spray on both the chicken and mushrooms. Place chicken in the air fryer and cook at 375°F for 8 minutes. Then add the mushrooms beside the chicken and cook everything for another 8 minutes. The internal temperature for the chicken should read 165°F.
Makes 2 servings.
