3. After 6 minutes, place on a serving plate and top it with green onions.

Serving Suggestions to try:

• Enjoy it with lemon-parsley potatoes, roasted green beans with caramelized onions, avocado quinoa salad, grilled zucchini, Instant pot cilantro lime rice, or sliced vegetables like tomato, avocado, and cucumbers.

Tips:

• After washing, dry the chicken strips with kitchen tissue paper.
• Coat the chicken with your preferred herbs and seasonings of your choice.
• Fold the bacon and chicken strips with the help of toothpicks.
• Ensure that the Chicken strips are longer than the bacon strips so they fold together easily.
• You can switch the ingredients to your choice.
• Don’t overcook the  bacon and chicken.
• After baking or airfrying, check the chicken by inserting a knife.
• Make sure to take out toothpicks before eating.
