4 chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt divided
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
4 ounces softened cream cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 1/2 cups chopped fresh spinach leaves
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Directions:
1. Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast.
2. Drizzle both sides of the chicken with oil.
3. Add the paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, garlic powder, and onion powder to a small bowl and stir to combine. Sprinkle evenly over both sides of the chicken.
4. Add cream cheese, Parmesan, mayonnaise, spinach, garlic, red pepper and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt to a small mixing bowl and stir well to combine.
5. Stuff the mixture into each chicken breast.
6. Place the chicken breasts in a greased air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to work in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer. Keep cooked chicken in a low oven, covered in foil, while the next batch cooks.
7. Air fry at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until a thermometer reads 165 degrees in the thickest portion of the chicken.
