How long to cook frozen cordon bleu in air fryer

The length of time it takes to cook frozen cordon bleu in the air fryer will depend on size. The bigger the chicken, the more time you’ll need. Mine usually gets ready in 15 to 18 mins.

However because the chicken breasts are raw the best method to check for doneness is by using an instant read thermometer and it should read at least 165°F/ 74°C to be considered safe to eat.

Air frying Tips

• I didn’t preheat my air fryer when cooking this frozen stuffed chicken breasts. However, if you preheat expect this to cook in less time because you preheated the air fryer.
• Cook straight from frozen, no need to thaw.
• An instant read thermometer is best to determine doneness. The internal temperature should be 165°F / 74°C However, if you do not have one just yet, you can cut through the chicken and ensure it’s white and no longer pink and that there are no traces of pink.
