INSTRUCTIONS
Place 22 oz potatoes and 8 oz carrots into a bowl. Cover them with microwave-safe plastic wrap and microwave on medium for 7 minutes.
Meanwhile, butterfly the chicken breasts (20 oz total) by slicing them open, but not all the way.
Slather the butterflied chicken breasts with 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil, 1 1/2 tsp Cajun, 1 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp cayenne. Make sure to season them inside and out. Allow to marinate.
Carefully remove the plastic wrap from the veg bowl and toss them with 1 tbsp unsalted butter, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, and 1 tsp fresh thyme.
Wrap the seasoned chicken breasts with 4 oz bacon (about 2 slices per breast) and secure with toothpicks.
Place the veg and chicken in the air fryer, the chicken on top. Cook them at 400°F for 20 minutes.
Garnish with parsley and enjoy.
