Breaded chicken is a classic of traditional recipes (yes, those of lifelong mothers and grandmothers) and can be made in many different ways.
An alternative option to this is the breaded chicken breast recipe stuffed with ham and cheese. since in this case we have filled the chicken breast with cheese and bacon.
It is very easy to cook the breaded and stuffed chicken breast recipe in the airfryer and much healthier since you do not have to fry it.
This is perfect for diets or people who want to lead a healthier life but with a little whim.
The times to cook a stuffed breaded breast recipe can vary, for me the ones indicated below are the ones that leave the breast crispy and tasty inside.
Watch while you are cooking so as not to overcook and avoid a dry chicken breast.
We recommend more aifryer chicken recipes like aifryer chicken nuggets recipe, aifryer chicken thighs recipe or aifryer chicken wings recipe.
Another breading that is really good and very easy to make is the Russian steaks.

- We put a little Olive oil spray on the breasts that act as a cover and sprinkle paprika
- Preheat the airfryer for a few minutes at 180 ºC
- In a bowl we put the beaten egg and in a deep plate the wheat flour
- We pass our stuffed breast through the flour and then through the beaten egg
- We repeat the process for the second stuffed breast
- Put the chicken breasts on the air fryer rack (brush the rack with extra virgin olive oil beforehand so they don't stick)

Tips for a good recipe for empanada breast stuffed with cheese in a airfryer
- Try that the breasts are not very fat if not rather finite
- The amount of bacon and cheese is to tastefor me 3 slices of bacon and one of cheese for each breast is fine
- You only need to spray the Olive oil over the breast that acts as a cover
- In my case I have used an accessory for aifryer which is a metal grid adapted to the airfryer cecotec 3.5L
- Watch very well the last few minutes that your breast does not brown too much since the idea is to cook in the air fryer a crispy but flavorful chicken breast not dry
- You can accompany it with a piquillo sauce in aifryer or with a Mexican green sauce in aifryer
