Keto Air Fryer BLT Chicken
How to Make It
Step 1
Prepare 6-ounce chicken breasts by patting them dry with paper towels and butterflying them. Instead of spreading the butterflied breasts open, leave the chicken breasts in their original position. Rub a ¼ teaspoon of olive oil into the top of each breast, and sprinkle them with salt, pepper, and onion powder. Squeeze a ½ teaspoon of brown mustard (your choice of plain or spicy), and use a marinade brush to spread the mustard over the seasoned breasts.
Step 2
Turn on your air fryer to preheat to 375 degrees. Dice lettuce and roma tomato into small pieces and add them to a mixing bowl. Mix the filling with bacon bits and mayonnaise. Then, use a large spoon to stuff each butterflied chicken breast until the filling is used up. To secure the stuffed chicken breasts, use toothpicks to seal the openings and keep the filling in place. Make sure the toothpicks are completely submerged into the chicken so they don’t burn in your air fryer.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts in your air fryer. If your air fryer trays are removable, you can prep the tray with pan spray and leave it out of the air fryer while it preheats. Cook the BLT chicken for 15 minutes or until done. You can use a meat thermometer to check the chicken has reached 165 degrees for doneness. The chicken itself should have golden edges, excess fat will have released from the meat, and the mustard topping will be golden and provide a light crust.
