This is one of my favourite dinners….the chicken is so moist, the stuffing so tasty and the bacon so crispy!
I like to use the pork stuffing loaf for this recipe as I find the texture easier to stuff the chicken with it but you could use any tasty stuffings.
For an easy midweek meal with minimal washing up, I usually throw some halved baby potatoes and some veg like broccoli, cherry tomatoes, onion & peppers into the airfryer for the last 15 minutes of cooking!
These also make a really nice change of a Sunday roast!

INGREDIENTS…
Makes 4
4 large chicken breasts
4 slices (about 1cm thick) of Pork Stuffing Loaf
4 slices streaky bacon
INSTRUCTIONS…
Cut a slit along the side of each chicken breast to create a pocket - take care not to slice the whole way through.
Place a slice of stuffing inside each chicken breast.
Wrap each chicken breast with the bacon.
Airfry for 20-21 minutes at 190 degrees (turning halfway through cooking) or cook in the oven at 180 degrees for about 33-35 minutes until the chicken is cooked.
Cook the remaining stuffing as per packet instructions to enjoy alongside.
