Description

Discover the easy and delicious Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breast Recipe. Perfectly crispy bacon wraps tender chicken for a satisfying meal. Quick and simple to make!

Ingredients 

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, about 6-8 ounces each.
  • 6 Bacon strips,
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt, adjust to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper, adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder, optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon Paprika, optional
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh herbs, 1-2 sprigs of rosemary or thyme, optional

Instructions

  • Start by patting the boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika (if using) to taste.
  • Lay out the bacon strips and wrap each chicken breast with 3-4 strips, ensuring they cover the chicken evenly. You can secure the bacon with toothpicks if needed.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  • Place the bacon-wrapped chicken breasts in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 18-22 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crisping.
  • The chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the bacon is crispy.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy, juicy Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Chicken!
