Not to mention, it’s an easy sell at the dinner table. And if the kids don’t do spice, no problem! Feel free to season the chicken breasts with some salt and any spices you like. Then serve the chicken with some Steamed Broccoli and you’ve got a complete healthy meal.
Cooking chicken breast in the air fryer is ridiculously easy and turns out consistently good every time! Just follow my simple directions and you’ll have dinner ready in under 30 minutes!
Before you even start working with the chicken, you need to preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C). But this step is dependent on your particular model. Some air fryers don’t need to be preheated. So you will need to check your manufacturer’s guide.

Next, let’s get the chicken breasts ready for stuffing! Use a small sharp knife to slice the side of each chicken breast to form pockets that are about ¾ of the way into the breasts. You just want to create slits in the chicken to stuff. The breasts should still be in one piece after you’ve created the pockets, not cut in half.
After the chicken has been prepped, generously sprinkle the outside of the breasts with the cajun seasoning. Then stuff each piece with ¼ cup of pizza sauce followed by some pepperoni and then 1 to 2 slices of mozzarella cheese. If needed you can use toothpicks to secure the stuffed breasts.
To cook, spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Next, place the stuffed chicken into the basket in a single layer and spray the chicken itself with cooking spray. Then put the basket into the air fryer and cook the chicken for 17 to 20 minutes or until cooked through. When done, the internal temperature of the chicken should be 165°F (74°C) when checked with a digital cooking thermometer.

When the air fryer pizza stuffed breast is done, remove it from the basket and serve it immediately with a side of Roasted Asparagus for a totally keto meal or a big plate of One Pot Tomato Basil Pasta for a delicious carb loaded dinner.
Anything you like! Just remember to keep the ratio of ingredients about the same because the chicken can only hold so much. But feel free to switch out the pepperoni for other meat or veggies like mushrooms and spinach. Use any cheese you like or sauce for that matter. You could even make white pizza stuffed chicken breast with some Alfredo Sauce!
Yes! Just follow the recipe instructions up until it comes time to cook. Then lay the stuffed chicken in a baking pan lined with parchment paper and bake it in the oven at 400°F (204°C) for about 25 minutes or until done. Note, to be considered fully cooked your chicken always needs to have reached an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
