Air-Fried Jalapeño Popper Chicken

Appliance used: Ninja® Foodi™ Smart XL Grill. Tip: The bacon helps to hold the filling inside the chicken as it bakes. To secure the bacon, use a few toothpicks and tuck the ends under the chicken. If you prefer a spicier chicken, include the jalapeño seeds in the cream cheese mixture.
