Air fryer chicken roll-ups are a quick main dish that cooks in a few minutes. Wrapped chicken slices, stuffed with cheese and then breaded and cooked in the air fryer. Cooking meat in the air fryer makes it juicy and perfectly cooked, just like roast and meatballs in the air fryer, you’ll discover it’s really convenient. You’ll have cheesy chicken bundles, soft inside and crispy outside, thanks to the breading that will make them truly tasty. These air fryer chicken skewers are perfect in all seasons and when you’re tired of the usual chicken slices. Great to accompany with air-fried peppers and French fries.
This recipe is from my Air Fryer Book (Gribaudo edition).

How to make chicken roll-ups in the air fryer
Place 3 chicken slices on the cutting board, with the narrow part facing you. Add a third of a slice of ham and 2-3 slices of Emmental on each slice. Wrap the chicken breast to form roll-ups and skewer them. Continue until all ingredients are used, creating 3 chicken skewers with 3 pieces each.
Crack the egg into a plate and beat it with a fork. Spread the flour on another plate and the breadcrumbs on a third. Dip the chicken skewers first in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip them in the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs.
Place the chicken roll-ups in the air fryer, spray them with a little oil and cook at 400°F for 12 minutes, making sure to turn them halfway through cooking.
Tips for air fryer roll-ups
With the same recipe, you can make beef, pork loin, or turkey roll-ups, or even make cordon bleu.
You can replace Emmental with another meltable cheese, like Fontina or Scamorza.
* If your air fryer reaches 450°F, cook the breaded roll-ups at this temperature for 10 minutes.
