Description

Juicy chicken breasts stuffed with creamy spinach artichoke dip and air fried until golden — an easy, 30-minute weeknight dinner with just a handful of ingredients.

Ingredients 

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts , (about 8 oz each)
  • 1 cup spinach artichoke dip, such as Trader Joe's, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan, or mozzarella cheese, optional
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or chives, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes. Pat the chicken breasts dry.
  • Cut a pocket in the thick side of each breast, slicing nearly through to the other side but not all the way.
  • Season the chicken all over with olive oil, then salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder on both sides.
  • Stuff each pocket with a generous spoonful of spinach artichoke dip. If using cheese, stir it into the dip or sprinkle on top. Secure the openings with toothpicks.
  • Oil the outside of each stuffed breast lightly with olive oil or cooking spray.
  • Air fry at 375°F for 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Rest for 5 minutes. Remove toothpicks, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Sharp Knife
  • Toothpicks
  • Instant-read meat thermometer
  • Cooking spray or oil brush

Notes

  • Doneness: Always confirm 165°F with a thermometer; cook time varies with breast thickness.
  • Don't crowd: Leave space between breasts so air circulates; cook in batches if needed.
  • Make ahead: Stuff and refrigerate up to 24 hours before air frying.
  • Storage: Refrigerate up to 3 days; reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 4–6 minutes.
  • Sodium note: Store-bought dips can be high in sodium — choose a lower-sodium dip if needed.
