Spinach And Feta Chicken Rolls

Air Fryer Spinach and Feta Chicken Rolls are a delightful and healthy meal option, combining tender chicken breasts with a savory spinach and feta filling. Here’s a detailed recipe along with nutritional information.

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
Toothpicks, for securing rolls

Instructions:

Prepare the Filling:
- In a bowl, combine the chopped spinach, feta cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, and Italian herbs. Mix until well combined.
Prepare the Chicken:
- Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each breast horizontally to create a pocket, ensuring not to cut all the way through.
- Season the inside and outside of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Stuff the Chicken:
- Spoon the spinach and feta mixture into each chicken breast pocket, distributing the filling evenly.
- Secure the openings with toothpicks to prevent the filling from spilling out during cooking.
Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
Cook the Chicken Rolls:
- Lightly brush or spray the stuffed chicken breasts with olive oil.
- Place the chicken rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching.
- Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 16-18 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Serve:
- Remove the toothpicks and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice.
