Ingredients 

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup broccoli florets, steamed and finely chopped
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • Cooking spray, for greasing

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
  • Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar, mayonnaise, and minced garlic. Mix until well combined.
  • Divide the broccoli cheddar mixture among the chicken breasts, spreading it on top evenly.
  • In a separate bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs with melted butter and dried parsley. Sprinkle this mixture over the broccoli cheddar topped chicken breasts, pressing down slightly to adhere.
  • Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the topping is golden brown.
  • Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with your favorite sides.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Cooking Spray
  • Parchment Paper, optional

Notes

Notes:
  • Ensure chicken breasts are of even thickness for uniform cooking. If they are particularly thick, consider butterflying or pounding them for even thickness.
  • Freshly shredded cheese is recommended as it melts better than pre-packaged shredded cheese.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 300°F for the best texture.
