Delicious Inspiration from SkinnyTaste
Today I’m sharing this crisp juicy cheese-stuffed air fryer chicken recipe in celebration of my friend Gina’s latest book, the SkinnyTaste One & Done Cookbook. Her 3rd New York Times #1 Best-Selling Cookbook is packed with 140 no-fuss dinners made with your: Slow Cooker, Instant Pot, Air Fryer, Sheet Pan, Skillet, or Dutch Oven for easy cooking and clean up! To celebrate the release of her cookbook, Gina invited a group of buddies for a fabulous glamping trip to Ithaca, New York. Many of us had never been to the Finger Lakes region of New York. We were surprised by the natural beauty and vast array of things to do in Ithaca. And absolutely loved our stay at Firelight Camps, a unique destination combining traditional camping with elements of luxury. Our Three Days In Ithaca Included:
Hiking the Buttermilk Falls Trail Visiting gorges and waterfalls with Experience The Finger Lakes Tours Sipping artisanal sparkling ciders at Finger Lakes Cider House Cheese-tasting at Lively Run Dairy Wine-tasting at Sheldrake Point Winery (Where I found the first Chardonnay I’ve ever liked!) Sitting around the fire, roasting marshmallows, and giggling at Firelight Camps Experiencing an entire menu of fresh healthy comfort food from SkinnyTaste One & Done Cookbook
If you’ve never visited Ithaca, New York I suggest you add it to your bucket list. Check out Visit Ithaca to see what else the Finger Lakes area has to offer!

Everything But the Bagel Chicken Recipe Tips
Look for really skinny chicken cutlets. They should be about 4 ounces each. If you can’t find them precut, buy a 2 pound 4-pack of chicken breasts and carefully slice each breast into 2 cutlets and flatten to 1/2 inch with a meat mallet. “Everything Bagel” seasoning in popping up in grocery stores all over the country. If you can’t find it, I include Gina’s instructions for how to mix up a batch of EBS yourself in the recipe card below. It’s best to prep and set out all the ingredients before starting. That way, you can make a little assembly line for filling and coating the chicken. Don’t be tempted to add more cheese than listed in the recipe. These proportions not only keep the recipe light, they keep the filling from running out on the sides. Work in batches to cook only 3 to 4 cream cheese chicken roll-ups in the air fryer at once. You do not want the pieces to overlap or touch! They need a bit of space around them to allow the hot air to evenly circulate and get the exterior crispy. I made this dish in both the air fryer and in the oven. Both methods work well! The air fryer does create a crispier golden exterior. However, in the oven you can cook the chicken all at once.
