Prepare the stuffing mix by combining 1 cup of chicken flavored stuffing mix with 1.5 cups of hot water and 1 tablespoon of butter according to the box instructions.

Mix the stuffing with a fork until well combined and has a good consistency.

Chop 5-6 frozen pre-cooked shrimp and add to the stuffing mixture along with 1 tablespoon of bacon bits, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, and chopped green onions.

Add crumbled blue cheese to the mixture, or substitute with feta or shredded cheese if preferred.

Season the mixture with black pepper and mix until it holds together well.

Butterfly a good-sized chicken breast and pound it to about 3/8 inch thickness using a mallet, with plastic wrap and olive oil to prevent sticking.

Season the chicken breast with black pepper and sprinkle Italian dried herbs over it.

Spread the stuffing mixture evenly over the chicken breast, pressing it down to ensure it sticks.

Roll the chicken breast up tightly like a pinwheel, placing the seam side down.

Wrap the rolled chicken breast with 3 slices of bacon, overlapping them slightly to hold the chicken together.

Preheat the power air fryer oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 5 minutes.

Place the bacon-wrapped chicken on the center rack of the preheated air fryer oven and cook at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

Check the internal temperature of the chicken, ensuring it reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit, and cook for an additional 7-8 minutes if necessary.

Remove the chicken from the air fryer using tongs and let it rest briefly before slicing.

Slice the chicken into pinwheel wheels and serve.
