This is a favorite for late nights when savory comfort requires near-immediate preparation.
Carefully slice chicken breast horizontally into two thinner halves
Pat both breast halves dry and lay into air fryer basket
Drape bacon strips over breast halves, folding over itself as necessary
Using a spatula, spread a thick layer of pesto dressing over breast halves and bacon
Sprinkle ample breadcrumbs onto dressing, gently patting down as necessary
Bake breast halves in air fryer at 400 for ~11 minutes (if preparing 2 cups of rice, start rice in rice cooker now)
For the squeamish, check chicken with meat thermometer for internal temperature of 165
Serve with fresh rice with a squeeze of lemon
