Air Fryer Chicken Cordon Bleu

Servings: 4
Calories: 351kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 3 ounces deli ham (or 8 slices)
  • 4 ounces Swiss cheese
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon chicken broth
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 10 ounces frozen spinach (thawed)
  • 2 green onions (chopped)

Breading

  • ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Stir all the breading ingredients together in a shallow bowl and set it aside.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 °F
  • Squeeze as much water as you possibly can out of the thawed spinach (alternatively, you could also cook some fresh spinach until it's very wilted)
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the garlic for one minute until fragrant. Add the 2 tablespoons of broth, the spinach and green onions to the skillet. Cook for another 2 or 3 minutes until the onions are soft.
  • Pound the chicken breast very thin, to about ¼-inch thickness.
  • Cut the flattened chicken breast into 4 equal pieces (you'll be rolling this up like a jelly-roll, so keep this in mind when deciding how you want to divide your chicken breast up)
  • Lay 2 slices of ham and 1 ounce of swiss cheese over each piece of chicken. Spoon ¼ of the spinach mixture on top, and roll the chicken up like a jelly roll. Use toothpicks to secure the chicken and hold it shut.
  • Roll each chicken roll in the breading mixture, shaking off the excess. Next, transfer each chicken roll to the basket of the air fryer.
  • Spritz the chicken lightly with nonstick spray before cooking (this will help the breading brown up)
  • Cook the chicken in the air fryer for 15 to 20 minutes. The chicken is done when a thermometer registers an internal temperature of 165 °F
