Yes, you can! Line the air fryer with aluminum foil and heat to 400°F. Spray the foil with nonstick spray and place the stuffed chicken breasts in a single layer in the basket. Make sure the chicken is not touching. Fry for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Top with Buffalo sauce.
To check for doneness, poke the thickest part of the chicken (not the center where the filling is!) with the probe of an instant-read thermometer. If the thermometer reads 165°F, the chicken is cooked.
