    Boneless skinless chicken breasts 

    Onion powder

    Garlic powder

    Salt, black pepper, and dried parsley

    Apple cider vinegar

    Butter

    Apples

    Muenster cheese

    Ingredients for entire chicken breasts recipe.
    Look for chicken breasts that are about 4 ounces each. Chicken breasts varies in size and a 4 ounce is typically 1 serving.
    Seasoned chicken breasts in the air fryer.
    Place chicken breasts in the air fryer with enough space between them to allow air circulation.
    Melting butter in a cast iron skillet.
    Melt the butter and make the vinegar reduction sauce while chicken is in the air fryer.
    Partially cooked chicken with apple and muenster cheese stuffing.
    Stuff partially cooked chicken breast with apple and cheese slices.

    🔪 Instructions

    1. Place the onion powder, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl and mix to combine.
    2. Using ½ of the spice mixture, season chicken breasts.
    3. Place chicken breast in the air fryer basket and spray with olive oil cooking spray. Air fry at 400°f for 8 minutes.
    4. While chicken is air frying, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the apple cider vinegar and remaining spices.
    5. Over medium-high heat, bring butter sauce to a boil, then simmer for 8 minutes, until the sauce has reduced and thickened. Set aside
    6. Remove chicken from air fryer and let cool for 5 minutes. Using a sharp knife, slice a pocket into the side of the chicken breast.
    7. Stuff the inside of the chicken with cheese and apple slices in layers.
    8. Return stuffed chicken breasts to the air fryer basket and using a pastry brush, coat with the reduced apple cider vinegar sauce. Cook for 12 more minutes, until internal temperature of chicken in the thickest part of the chicken without stuffing reaches 165 degrees F.
    9. Remove chicken from air fryer and let cool 5 minutes prior to serving.

    Three glazed cheese stuffed chicken breasts with apples on a white plate.
    This easy dinner recipe rings in with just 9 net carbs, making this a delicious low carb dinner recipe!

    📖 Variations

    • Use different kinds of cheeses in place of the muenster cheese. I like to use pepper jack cheese, brie, or cheddar cheese.
    • For a sweeter glaze, substitute apple cider or apple juice in place of the apple cider vinegar. (doing this changes the carb count and it will no longer be a low carb recipe)
    • Add a little bit of red pepper flakes to the vinegar glaze before brushing over top of the chicken for a little heat boost.

    💭 Tips

    • When buying chicken for stuffing, look for breasts that are not too large, but yet still are thick enough to cut into and make a pocket for the stuffing. Each chicken breast should weigh approximately 4 ounces.
