Make the filling: Warm olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the onion; cook and stir until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the bell pepper and mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes.

Take the skillet off the heat and stir in the spinach and garlic; keep stirring until the spinach is slightly wilted. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let cool for 10 minutes. Stir in the feta cheese, crumbling any large pieces.

Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken dry and set it on a cutting board. Cut a pocket in each breast by inserting a knife into the thickest part and slicing parallel to the board, leaving about 1 inch at each end. Take care not to slice all the way through the thinnest edge.

Preheat the air fryer to 370 degrees F (190 degrees C) if the manufacturer recommends preheating.
- 5
Separate the prosciutto slices and lay them on a clean surface. Place 2 tablespoons of the filling onto each slice; roll the prosciutto around the filling to form an oblong bundle. Tuck one bundle into each cut chicken breast and secure the opening with a few toothpicks.

Put the beaten egg in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, parsley, salt, and pepper. Dip each stuffed chicken breast into the beaten egg, then dredge in the bread crumb mixture. Spray both sides with cooking spray and set in the air fryer basket.
- 7
Cook the chicken in the preheated air fryer until browned, about 15 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
