Prep: 20 min. Cook: 18 min. Servings: 4.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, 6 ounces each
• 8 ounces ground lamb
• 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 cup cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
• 1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• Olive oil cooking spray, as needed

Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly spray the basket with olive oil cooking spray.
2. Make the filling: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium. Add olive oil, mushrooms, red bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Stir in spinach and cook just until wilted, 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and cool slightly.
3. Add ground lamb, feta, oregano, smoked paprika, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until evenly combined.
4. Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken dry. Carefully butterfly each breast by slicing horizontally to create a pocket, stopping short of cutting through. Season the outside and inside with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
5. Stuff each chicken breast with one quarter of the lamb mixture. Press edges together. If needed, secure with toothpicks.
6. Arrange stuffed chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Lightly mist the tops with cooking spray.
7. Air fry for 9 minutes. Flip, then continue cooking 8 to 12 minutes more, or until a [digital meat thermometer](https://rocktopgear.com/amazon) inserted into the thickest part of the chicken reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the center of the lamb filling reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
8. Transfer to a plate and let the chicken rest for 3 minutes before slicing. Remove any toothpicks and serve.
