Roasted Chicken and Pepper Salad

I wanted something light for dinner for mself, so I decided to roast a chicken breast and some bell peppers in my Air Fryer for a fancy spinach salad.



Ingredients:

  • 1/2 bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1/2 medium onion, cut into chunks
  • 1 chicken breast (I needed to thaw mine..)
  • 1/4 teaspoon each  salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, and basil
    (or sprinkling of to cover the chicken breast)
  • 1/8 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 handful baby spinach
  • 2 slices pre-cooked bacon
  • 5 baby carrots
  • 2 or 3 marinated artichokes pieces

Instructions:

  1. Spray bell pepper and onions with a little cooking spray, roast for 10 minutes or so while you get rest of ingredients together.
  2. Thaw chicken breast as needed.
  3. Pound chicken breast flat between two sheets of plastic wrap
    (I used a rubber mallet)
  4. Sprinkle all over with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, and basil
  5. Place spinach on the chicken breast
  6. Sprinkle lightly with mozzarella cheese
  7. Place bacon on top of cheese
    Roll the chicken breast around filling, and bind together with toothpicks
    Mist lightly with cooking spray.
  8. Remove peppers and onions from air fryer basket, place in small container and seal so they steam a bit more.
  9. Cook chicken in air fryer at 375 degrees for 13 to 14 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
    (I put the peppers back in for more cooking then.)
  10. While chicken cooks, spread more spinach on a plate.
  11. Sprinkle with 5 or so shredded baby carrots, and with 3 diced artichoke pieces.
  12. Top salad with 1/2 of the bell peppers, and 1/2 of the onion.
  13. Cut chicken in half, and slice up one half to serve as salad topper.
    (Make a second salad plate if you are serving two!)


Carole's Notes:

I liked this! I was using a large Costco chicken breast, so there is enough for another meal. You could also serve this as a main dish with a side salad.
