🧂 Ingredients

• 1 Pound Chicken Breast

  Shredded
• ¼ Cup Cream Cheese
• 1 Egg
• ¾ Cup Panko
• ½ teaspoon Salt
• ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
• ½ teaspoon Cumin
• ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder

Instructions

• 1 Depending on the thickness of the chicken breast you'll want to butterfly it.
  This means cutting it horizontally, but not all the way through. This allows you
  to pound the meat for even thickness.

• 3 Sprinkle on ¼ teaspoon salt, black pepper, and cumin
• 4 Lay the Anaheim Pepper onto the chicken breast
• 5 In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese and grated cheddar cheese
• 6 Spread half the cream cheese mixture over the Anaheim pepper layer
• 7 Roll the chicken breast over the pepper and cheese.
• 8 Bind the chicken roll with toothpicks
• 9 Beat the egg
• 10 Mix together the Panko, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon cumin, ¼ teaspoon garlic
  powder, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper and place on a flat dish
• 11 Carefully dip the stuffed chicken breast into the egg and then roll it into the
  panko mixture. Press lightly to get the panko to stick to the chicken
• 12 Lightly spray the chicken breast with olive oil or butter cooking spray
• 13 Place the stuffed chicken breast into the Air Fryer. NOTE: Always spray the
  bottom of the air fryer with cooking spray. Cook the chicken in the Air Fryer
  for 12 minutes at 400 degrees
• 14 Flip the chicken. Spray the top of the chicken breast with olive oil or butter
  cooking spray and cook for an additional 8 minutes in the Air Fryer at 400
  degrees.
• 15 Check the chicken to make sure the internal temperature is over 165 degrees. The
  outside should also be browned and crunchy. Enjoy.
