Cuisine: North America, Mexican
Ingredients: 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each); 1 small onion, halved and thinly sliced; 1/2 medium green pepper, thinly sliced; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 tablespoon chili powder; 1 teaspoon ground cumin; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder; 4 ounces cheddar cheese, cut into 4 slices; Optional: Salsa, sour cream, minced fresh cilantro, jalapeno slices and guacamole

I had all the ingredients for fajitas, but instead of heating up my big oven, I decided to try a different version in the air fryer. Since my air fryer is small, I wanted to put as much filling as I could in each stuffed chicken breast. This worked nicely by cutting slits in the breasts and then filling them. —Joan Hallford, North Richland Hills, Texas

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)

1 small onion, halved and thinly sliced

1/2 medium green pepper, thinly sliced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

4 ounces cheddar cheese, cut into 4 slices

Optional: Salsa, sour cream, minced fresh cilantro, jalapeno slices and guacamole

Instructions

1 Preheat air fryer to 375°. Cut a pocket horizontally in the thickest part of each chicken breast. Fill with onion and green pepper. In a small bowl, combine olive oil and seasonings; rub over chicken.

2 In batches, place chicken on greased tray in air-fryer basket. Cook 6 minutes. Top chicken with cheese slices; secure with toothpicks. Cook until a thermometer inserted in chicken reads at least 165°, 6-8 minutes longer. Discard toothpicks. If desired, serve with toppings of your choice.
