Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ½ teaspoon dehydrated onion or onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt kosher
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper or to your personal preference
- 1 cup finely chopped broccoli florets frozen but defrosted or fresh and steamed
- 3 ounce Velveeta block cheese (cut into 12 pieces - see note for detail)
- olive oil spray or misto
optional ingredient
- 1 tablespoon dry seasoned breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Using a sharp knife, make 3 slits on top of chicken. Be careful not to cut all the way through to the bottom of chicken. Give the chicken a quick spray of oil and then season with onion, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Place one piece of cheese in each slit on the chicken and then add the broccoli.
- If desired, sprinkle the tops of the chicken with breadcrumbs and give the crumbs a quick spray with the oil too. Skip this step if not using the crumbs.
- Place chicken in air fryer basket. Cook 13 minutes at 360 °F Check internal temperature, if not 165 °F, add an additional minute or two. Serve while warm.
Notes
Slicing the Velveeta: I cut off a 3 oz block. I then turn the block of cheese and make my slices on the shorter side of the cheese.
