Ingredients

  • 4 large chicken breasts cut 3/4 way through horizontally, then pounded flat into large pieces
  • 8 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup canned corn drained
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 4 oz green chilis
  • 1 cup Mexican cheese blend shredded
  • 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 eggs well beaten
  • 2 cups breadcrumbs

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 375° F for 5 minutes. Lay out a piece of flattened chicken and lay out 2 slices of mozzarella cheese slices over the chicken.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, corn, garlic, green chilis, and Mexican cheese. Beat with a hand mixer until well combined.
  • Spread a couple of spoons of the cream cheese mixture over the sliced cheese.
  • Starting on one end, roll up the chicken as tight as you can without squishing out the filling.
  • Use toothpicks to close the chicken.
  • In a large shallow dish, combine the salt, pepper and flour. In a separate dish, add the beaten eggs. In a third dish, add the breadcrumbs.
  • Roll one chicken roll in the flour mixture, then roll in the eggs, and lastly in the bread crumbs.
  • Place the breaded rolls in the air fryer, making sure the rolls are not packed too closely together. You may need to do a second batch.
  • Spray the rolls with nonstick cooking spray, then place the air fryer basket back into the air fryer and set at 375° for 10 minutes.
  • Flip the rolls over and spray with the nonstick cooking spray. Return to the air fryer and cook for another 15 - 20 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Temperature should reach 165° when chicken is probed in the middle of the roll.
  • Remove and serve immediately with your favorite side dish. Remember to remove the toothpicks before serving.
