70g 'nduja
100g low-moisture mozzarella, sliced
1 roasted red pepper, patted dry and sliced
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp sea salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
8 cocktail sticks
For the Crust

1 tsp smoked paprika
Olive oil spray
To Serve
Lemon-dressed rocket

Method
Preheat your air fryer to 190°C.
Cut a deep pocket into the thick side of each chicken breast without slicing all the way through.
Divide the 'nduja, mozzarella and roasted pepper between the pockets.
Close firmly and secure with two cocktail sticks per breast.
Rub with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt and black pepper.
Mix the panko, Parmesan and smoked paprika, then press the mixture over both sides of the chicken.
Lightly spray with oil and place in the basket with space between each breast.
Air fry for 18-21 minutes, turning once, until the crumb is crisp and the filling is piping hot.
Check the chicken, not just the filling, reaches 75°C in its thickest part.
Rest for 4 minutes, remove all cocktail sticks and slice carefully before serving.
