How To Make Air Fryer Stuffed Chicken with Asparagus

Here are the step-by-step instructions for making Air Fryer Asparagus Stuffed Chicken Breast Recipe.

Prepare the Chicken: Start with 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Pound them to an even thickness for uniform cooking if they are thick. Season the chicken breasts with a bit of salt and pepper, considering that prosciutto adds saltiness.

Wrap with Prosciutto and Cheese: Lay 2 slices of prosciutto flat on a surface, slightly overlapping. Place a slice of fontina cheese on each chicken breast, then wrap the chicken with the prosciutto slices, ensuring the cheese is enclosed.

Prepare the Asparagus and Shallots: Trim the ends of 2 pounds of asparagus and cut them into lengths that will fit your air fryer basket. Thinly slice 2 shallots and mix them with the asparagus. Drizzle a bit of olive oil and toss with salt and pepper.

Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F (190°C), for 3-5 minutes.

Cook the Chicken and Asparagus: Place the prosciutto-wrapped chicken in the air fryer basket. Set cook time for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, add the asparagus and shallots around the chicken in the air fryer. Continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the asparagus is tender.

Serving: Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve the prosciutto-wrapped chicken alongside the roasted asparagus and shallots.
