What is Air Fryer Cranberry & Brie Stuffed Chicken?
Air Fryer Cranberry & Brie Stuffed Chicken is a delicious and festive dish that combines juicy chicken breast with creamy brie cheese and tangy cranberry sauce. This recipe uses an air fryer to create a crispy exterior while keeping the chicken moist and the filling gooey. It’s a perfect blend of savoury and sweet flavours, making it an ideal choice for special occasions or a luxurious weeknight dinner.
Why Use an Air Fryer for Stuffed Chicken?
An air fryer cooks the chicken faster than a traditional oven, typically taking only 15-18 minutes compared to 25-30 minutes in the oven. The air fryer also produces a crispy exterior without the need for excessive oil, making it a healthier cooking method. Additionally, the air fryer’s compact size means it preheats quickly, saving you time and energy.
Tips for Perfectly Cooked Stuffed Chicken
- Ensure the chicken is evenly butterflied for consistent cooking.
- Don’t overstuff the chicken to prevent filling from leaking out.
- Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 73°C.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve your Air Fryer Cranberry & Brie Stuffed Chicken with:
Roasted vegetables like Brussels sprouts or carrots
- A fresh green salad
- Mashed potatoes or sweet potato mash
- Steamed green beans or asparagus
