You can also slice and serve this chicken recipe for a nice presentation at the dinner table! Since the recipe is so low in carbs, there is plenty of room to spare for your favorite Carb Manager Keto side dishes.

Cutting Tomatoes Without The Mess

You don’t want juicy tomatoes to leak in your BLT filling and make a mess in your air fryer! Whenever you are adding diced tomatoes to something you’re cooking with heat, you have to remove all the seeds. To cut a standard roma tomato, slice off the top, and cut the tomato into quartered spears. Use your knife or a spoon to slide under the seeds in the center of each tomato spear and remove them. Discard the wet seeds, and continue to chop/dice your tomato spears.

Avoid Dry Air Fryer Recipe With This Tip

Air fryers cook quickly by forcing rapid hot air in a condensed space. When you’re cooking a Keto air fryer recipe, you have the potential to dry out your meal. One way to ensure your air-fried food stays moist is to use a hygroscopic condiment or spread. Hygroscopic ingredients absorb and retain moisture from the air, meaning they’ll keep the moisture trapped in your meats while they fry. Some hygroscopic ingredients are mayonnaise, mustards, and ketchup.

Recipe Steps

steps 3

25 min

  • Step 1

    Prepare 6-ounce chicken breasts by patting them dry with paper towels and butterflying them. Instead of spreading the butterflied breasts open, leave the chicken breasts in their original position. Rub a ¼ teaspoon of olive oil into the top of each breast, and sprinkle them with salt, pepper, and onion powder. Squeeze a ½ teaspoon of brown mustard (your choice of plain or spicy), and use a marinade brush to spread the mustard over the seasoned breasts.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Turn on your air fryer to preheat to 375 degrees. Dice lettuce and roma tomato into small pieces and add them to a mixing bowl. Mix the filling with bacon bits and mayonnaise. Then, use a large spoon to stuff each butterflied chicken breast until the filling is used up. To secure the stuffed chicken breasts, use toothpicks to seal the openings and keep the filling in place. Make sure the toothpicks are completely submerged into the chicken so they don’t burn in your air fryer.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Place the chicken breasts in your air fryer. If your air fryer trays are removable, you can prep the tray with pan spray and leave it out of the air fryer while it preheats. Cook the BLT chicken for 15 minutes or until done. You can use a meat thermometer to check the chicken has reached 165 degrees for doneness. The chicken itself should have golden edges, excess fat will have released from the meat, and the mustard topping will be golden and provide a light crust.

    This was tasty. My only addition was a bit of shredded cheese to the filling mixture, mostly for my macros. It was easy to prepare EXCEPT for the toothpick business, which was needed to hold them together but the most fussy part of the dish both preparing and consuming. Although the finished BLTs were gorgeous, next time I think I’ll just air-fry the chicken by itself with the seasonings and spicy mustard, then serve on top of the filling ingredients. Easier, though less elegant to be sure!
