⏲️ How Long to Cook Stuffed Chicken Breast in Air Fryer?

Different Air Fryers work differently. It totally depends on the type of Air Fryer you are using. In my case, I am using a 1500 watt Air Fryer so it took me just 16 minutes at 400F to cook my Spinach and Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken Breasts.

However, In case your Air Fryer is 1700 watts then it will take way less time. So, read the manual before using your Air Fryer.

Some Air Fryer needs to be Preheated. Mine doesn't. In case, you need to Preheat your Air Fryer then go ahead and do that.

Do I need to Brush Oil before putting it in Air Fryer?

Honestly, there is no need. Chicken has its own fat and therefore there is no need to brush oil on your chicken. However, if you feel unsure then brush some oil. I would recommend either Olive Oil or Avocado Oil.

But do not use Non-Stick cooking spray. Non-stick cooking spray destroys the Teflon coating in your Air Fryer basket. Read more about Air Fryer here.

Can I make it with Frozen Spinach? If So then, How?

Yes, you can surely make Air Fryer Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Frozen Spinach. When using frozen spinach, follow these steps and it will make things so easy for you.

• Add Spinach to a pan: Heat a Pan and place your spinach. You'll see lots of steam coming out from it. That's okay.
• Stir well: Stir on low heat until the spinach block breaks down.
• Strain: When your Spinach is defrosted strain it with a colander. Squeeze as much water as possible by using a spoon.
• And, then you can follow the rest of the steps for the recipe.
