Coat chicken with the oil of choice and add your favorite seasoning. I used canola oil and I used Tony Chachere. Another favorite combination is salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Or you can use whatever spices you have on hand. Get creative!
Wrap bacon strips around chicken. At the end try to tuck under the back on the underside of the chicken.
Add chicken to the air fryer. Tucked bacon side down.
Turn on Manual for 400ºF for 15 minutes.
After 15 mins turn the chicken. Be careful not to untuck the bacon.
Turn back on manual 400 for 10 minutes. Note: Check every 5 minutes because smaller chicken portions will cook faster than large chicken breasts.
Remove and let cool. Add veggies and a side salad if you would like.
I used the Power Air Fryer XL as seen below.
