Method

10 steps

Blanch the chopped spinach in boiling water for approximately 1 minute. Drain, cool slightly and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
Mix the spinach, feta, cream cheese, granulated garlic, salt, black pepper and coriander, if using, until combined.
Cut a deep pocket into the side of each chicken breast without cutting all the way through.
Divide the spinach filling between the chicken breasts. Secure the openings with toothpicks if needed.
Mix the oil and paprika with an additional pinch each of salt and pepper, then brush the mixture over the chicken.
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Arrange the stuffed chicken breasts in the basket in a single layer.
Air fry for 10–12 minutes, then flip and cook for another 10–12 minutes.
Check that the thickest part of each chicken breast has reached 165°F (74°C). Add a few more minutes if necessary.
Rest for 5 minutes, remove any toothpicks and serve whole or sliced.
