Air Fryer Million Dollar Chicken
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. Boneless skinless chicken breasts thinly sliced
- 6 oz Cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup Mayonnaise
- ½ cup Crispy bacon crumbled about 8 slices
- ½ cup Green onions chopped about 4 onions
- 1.5 cups Colby jack cheese shredded 2 portions – see steps 1 and 4
Method
- In a medium sized bowl, mix together your cream cheese, Mayo, bacon, onions, and half of your shredded cheese.
- Line your Air Fryer with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Place your chicken inside your basket (season with salt and pepper if desired). It’s ok if they are touching and crowded, but make sure it’s an even layer. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you make need to complete this in 2 (or more) batches.
- Top the chicken with your cream cheese mixture and remaining shredded cheese.
- Cook at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken is 160 degrees.
- Garnish with more bacon and/or green onions!
Notes
You want the chicken to cook quickly in the air fryer. So, either use very thin breasts or thinly cut them in a butterfly before air frying.
You can season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper if you like before covering them in the sauce.
You may need to cook the chicken in two batches depending on the size of the breasts. It’s okay if the breasts are touching but you don’t want them on top of each other.
Store leftover chicken in the fridge in an airtight container for 3-4 days. To reheat it you’ll want to pop it back into the air fryer.
