Air Fryer ChickenWrapped In Bacon With Philadelphia
I don’tmention Slimming World much on our blog these days, but I was a member of thediet club back in the 90’s as a chubby teenager. They didn’t have onlineSlimming World recipes at the time, but one of the popular meals was chickenwrapped in bacon.
You had achicken breast, you covered it in your allowed amount of Philadelphia and thenwrapped it in lean back bacon. It was delicious. It was bigger than the airfryer chicken wrapped in bacon I am sharing with you today.
But itshows you that if you want it small like the little party pieces of air fryerchicken wrapped in bacon that I am making today, or you want to use full sizedchicken breasts, then both work well.
But best of all, compared to baking your chicken wrapped in bacon in the oven, the air fryer does an amazing job of crisping the bacon up for you instead.

Notes
I recommend sourcing your chicken and bacon from Butcher Box. They do amazing monthly subscription boxes of quality sourced meat. Many of our readers have both organic chicken and natural bacon in their monthly box. Or read our Butcher Box Review.
It is important that the bacon covers the soft cheese, otherwise the cheese will go everywhere in the air fryer and you won’t have any cheese on your chicken.
I recommend shaking them after 8 minutes as it stops the bacon from sticking to the other chicken bites or to the bottom of the air fryer and makes sure that the bacon is crispy all over rather than on one side.
