Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts about 7 oz each
  • 2 oz thinly sliced deli ham
  • 2 oz Swiss cheese cut into thin sticks
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 3/4 cup plain fine breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tbsp neutral oil

Method
 

  1. Preheat a 6-quart air fryer to 370°F for 3 minutes. Cut horizontal pockets from thick side of each breast, keeping opposite edges attached.
  2. Spread Dijon inside pockets. Wrap Swiss sticks in ham; tuck into pockets and secure with wooden toothpicks.
  3. Put flour in a shallow dish, egg beaten with water in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper in a third. Coat chicken in flour, egg, then crumbs; dab all surfaces with oil.
  4. Space breasts in basket. Air fry 12 minutes; carefully turn and cook 10 to 15 minutes more until thickest chicken beside pocket and filling center reach 165°F.
  5. Rest 5 minutes; remove every toothpick. Slice across pockets to reveal ham and cheese.
