Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts (1 chicken breast per person)
- 4 rashers of bacon (1 or 2 per chicken piece)
- 6 tbsp BBQ sauce
- 50g grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, gouda or parmesan)
Instructions
-
- Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket at 190°C/375°F and set the timer for 10 minutes; if you have a small air fryer basket, you might only be able to fit two at a time. Turn the chicken at the 5-minute mark.
- After 10 minutes of cooking time, using some tongs or a fork, remove the chicken breasts and wrap each one in one or two rashers of bacon. To keep the rashers in place, you can use a cocktail stick.
- Return the bacon-wrapped chicken to the air fryer basket and cook for a further 10 minutes, again turning halfway.
- At the end of the cooking time, open the air fryer basket and brush the bbq sauce equally over each chicken breast.
- Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top of the BBQ sauce.
- Air fry for a further 2 to 3 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the bbq sauce is hot.
- Remove from the air fryer, and remove the cocktail sticks if you used them.
- Check the chicken is cooked all the way through, either by cutting into one or using a meat thermometer.
- Serve with your favourite side dish.
