Method

7 steps 10 min prep · 38 min cook

Prep

Step 1. Heat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Toss Potato with Olive Oil, Salt, and Black Pepper.
Step 2. Air-fry the wedges in the basket, shaking halfway, until browned and tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely.
Step 3. Meanwhile, wrap each Chicken Breast with a slice of Bacon, tucking the ends underneath.

Cook

Step 4. Reduce the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the chicken seam-side down in the basket without overlapping. Air-fry until the bacon browns and the chicken is nearly cooked through, about 15 minutes.
Step 5. Meanwhile, boil Peas in a saucepan of water until hot and tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and cover to keep warm.
Step 6. Spoon BBQ Sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with Cheddar Cheese. Air-fry until the cheese melts and the chicken is cooked through with no pink inside, about 3 minutes, with the wedges back in the basket beside it to crisp again.

Finish & serve

Step 7. Serve the chicken with the wedges and peas.

Tips

Good to know

Check that the thickest part of each chicken breast reaches 165°F; if needed, cook a little longer.

Swap it

Use turkey bacon instead of pork bacon, checking it early because it can brown faster.

Leftovers

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and reheat until hot within three to four days.
