Air Fryer Million Dollar Chicken Recipe
This chicken dish is creamy, cheesy, and loaded with flavor! The air fryer makes it juicy on the inside and perfectly crispy on the outside.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked, crumbled bacon (optional but delicious!)
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Make the Topping
- In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, crumbled bacon, and green onions.
- Assemble the Chicken
- Spread the mixture evenly on top of each chicken breast.
- Preheat the Air Fryer
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes.
- Cook the Chicken
- Place the chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer).
- Cook for 15-18 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the topping is golden and bubbly. You can add a minute or two for extra crispiness if needed.
- Serve
- Let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes. Serve warm with your favorite sides, like a fresh salad or mashed potatoes.
Tips
- Check for doneness: Using a meat thermometer helps ensure your chicken is perfectly cooked.
- Customize it: Add your favorite herbs or spices to the topping for extra flavor.
Enjoy your Million Dollar Chicken—crispy, creamy, and absolutely delicious!
