Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breasts about 400g, plump and fresh
- 4 jalapeños 80g, diced (adjust for spice preference)
- 1 cup 225g cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup 100g shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup 60g breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
- 1 tbsp 15ml olive oil
- 1 tsp 3g garlic powder
- 1 tsp 3g onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat the Air Fryer
- I preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to ensure a crispy exterior and even cooking.
Prepare the Cheese Mixture
- In a mixing bowl, I combine 1 cup softened cream cheese, 4 diced jalapeños, and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, mixing with a fork until smooth and evenly blended.
Stuff the Chicken Breasts
- I carefully slice a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, ensuring not to cut through. I spoon the cheese mixture into each pocket, filling generously but sealing tightly to prevent leaks.
Season and Coat the Chicken
- I sprinkle 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, salt, and pepper over the chicken breasts. I brush each with 1 tbsp olive oil and coat with ½ cup breadcrumbs for a crunchy finish.
Cook in the Air Fryer
- I place the stuffed chicken breasts in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t touch for proper air circulation. I cook for 25–30 minutes, checking with a meat thermometer until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Rest and Serve
- I let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to lock in juices, then slice and serve hot.
Notes
- Use fresh jalapeños for best flavor.
- Adjust the number of jalapeños based on your spice preference.
- Serve with ranch dressing for dipping.
