Ingredients:

  1. 2 large Chicken breast
  2.  1/2 cup Spinach, chopped
  3.  1/2 cup Sundried tomatoes, chopped
  4.  3/4 cup Kraft sun-dried tomato vinaigrette dressing & marinade
  5.  1/2 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
  6.  1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Air fryer:
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
2. Prepare the Chicken:
1. Lay the chicken breasts flat on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to slice a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. The pocket should be large enough to stuff the filling.
2. Season the inside of each chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper.

3. Prepare the Filling:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, chopped sundried tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix well to combine.
**2. Spoon the filling mixture into the pockets of each chicken breast, dividing it evenly between the two breasts.

4. Seal the Chicken:
1. Carefully fold the chicken breasts over the filling to close the pockets.
**2. Use toothpicks to secure the edges of the chicken breasts, if needed, to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.

5. Marinate the Chicken:
**1. Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
2. Pour the sun-dried tomato vinaigrette dressing & marinade over the chicken breasts, making sure they are well coated.
3. Cover the dish or seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chicken to marinate.

6. Cook the Chicken:
1. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and discard any excess marinade.
2. Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
3. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 18-22 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

7. Serve:
1. Once cooked, remove the toothpicks from the chicken breasts.
2. Serve the Sundried Tomato, Spinach, and Cheese Stuffed Chicken hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Enjoy your delicious stuffed chicken breasts! They’re packed with flavor and make for a satisfying meal.
