Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breasts
Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Chicken Breasts are one of my favorite foods to make in the air fryer. The chicken breasts remain juicy and the crispy bacon adds a lot of rich flavor.

Servings: 3 -4 chicken breasts
Calories: 413kcal
Ingredients
- 3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 12-16 slices of bacon
- salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
- Preheat air fryer to 370 degrees F.
- Trim chicken breasts, season them well, then wrap 2-3 slices of bacon around each chicken breast. Try to cover the entire chicken with the bacon.
- Place bacon-covered chicken breasts into the air fryer basket, making sure not to overlap them.
- Cook 18-20 minutes until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken breasts reads 165 degrees F. Turn over halfway through cooking if desired.
Notes
- Turning the chicken over is optional. If there is not a lot of room between the chicken breasts, I would recommend turning them over. But turn them carefully so that the bacon doesn't fall off.
- You can use toothpicks to secure the bacon if desired. I usually skip this step because most people in my family don't actually eat the bacon.
- Even if you do not eat the bacon, it keeps your chicken nice and juicy and adds extra flavor. Highly recommend.
