boneless, skinless chicken breasts, spinach, finely chopped, crumbled feta or shredded mozzarella, cream cheese, granulated garlic.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup spinach, finely chopped

- 1½ tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon oil
- ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
- ¼ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander (optional)

Method
- 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.
