Equipment

Materials

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 slices prosciutto
  • 4 to 6 basil leaves
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • toothpicks

Instructions

  • Cut each chicken breast horizontally, only going ¾ of the way through. Open the chicken breast up and pound it to get even thickness.
    Season each side with salt and pepper.
  • Lay a piece of prosciutto on top of each chicken breast.
    Arrange basil leaves on top of prosciutto.
  • In a small bowl, stir together ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, and garlic powder.
    Spread on top of chicken (Don't go too close to the edges.)
  • Starting at the short end, roll each piece of chicken up tightly and secure with a few toothpicks.
    Drizzle olive oil on top and then sprinkle with Italian seasoning and paprika.
  • Preheat air fryer to 370 degrees. Lightly spray air fryer basket with oil and add the chicken.
    Air fry for 10 minutes. Flip over and air fry another 7 to 10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.

Notes

Note: Some of the filling will probably leak out of the chicken onto the bottom of the air fryer. You can spoon it up and stuff it back into the chicken before serving.
