Chicken and speck rolls cooked in the air fryer, with a soft, melty filling, easy to make and ideal for a quick dinner. Why air fryer cooking? I prefer it when I have little time and need to cook small quantities, which has been happening to me often lately. In fact, it’s a good alternative to the oven, especially because it heats up quickly and in a few minutes you have your dish ready. However, of course you can also make this recipe in the oven and below, in the photographic steps, I explain how. Meanwhile, here are other ideas for preparing rolls.

Ingredients
- 6 slices chicken breast (Rather thin)

Steps
To make the Chicken and Speck Rolls cooked in the air fryer, first cut the cheese as shown in the photo below. This way the cheese will melt but won’t disappear inside the roll.
If the slices are thick, flatten them between two sheets of parchment and make them thinner with a rolling pin. Place the piece of cheese on the short side, at the top, and roll the meat tightly. Then wrap it in a slice of speck.
Place the rolls in the air fryer basket lined with parchment paper and cook at 347°F for 12-14 minutes.
You can prepare the rolls in advance without cooking them if you want to shorten preparation and cooking time, and store them in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. Once cooked, serve them hot with a side of roasted potatoes.
