Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Saute mushrooms, bell pepper, and onions for 5 minutes, until par-cooked.

Cut chicken breasts, butterfly them open, and season with cajun seasoning.

Place a large spoonful of mushroom and bell pepper mixture on your chicken. Finish off with a large pinch of cheese.

Carefully roll up the chicken so the stuffing is completely inside. Secure the chicken with toothpicks. Place in the preheated air fryer basket. Place a tablespoon of butter on top of each chicken breast.

Air Fry in the preheated basket until chicken is cooked through, to an internal temperature of 165 degrees, about 18 minutes.
