👨‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) if recommended by manufacturer.

Pat chicken pieces dry with paper towels.

Use a sharp knife slice horizontally through the middle, beginning at the thickest part, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side.

Open the 2 sides and spread them out like an open book.

Season both sides with lemon-pepper seasoning.

Place 1 slice of cheese on each chicken breast.

Cut asparagus spears in half and place 4 halves on top of the cheese.

Roll the chicken up and over the cheese and asparagus, keeping the stuffing inside each roll.

Wrap each chicken breast with 3 pieces of bacon, using wooden toothpicks to secure the bacon, where it overlaps.

Place each bacon-wrapped breast in the air fryer basket and air fry for 15 minutes.

Turn and cook for 15 minutes more.

Test chicken for doneness; an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should reach 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
