Steps:
- Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) if recommended by manufacturer.
- Pat chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Use a sharp knife slice horizontally through the middle, beginning at the thickest part, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like an open book.
- Season both sides with lemon-pepper seasoning. Place 1 slice of cheese on each chicken breast. Cut asparagus spears in half and place 4 halves on top of the cheese. Roll the chicken up and over the cheese and asparagus, keeping the stuffing inside each roll. Wrap each chicken breast with 3 pieces of bacon, using wooden toothpicks to secure the bacon, where it overlaps.
- Place each bacon-wrapped breast in the air fryer basket and air fry for 15 minutes. Turn and cook for 15 minutes more. Test chicken for doneness; an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should reach 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

- Season the asparagus. Sprinkle the asparagus spears with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.
- Cook the asparagus. Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the asparagus spears in the air fryer basket and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked and the asparagus is tender.
- Serve the asparagus. Serve the asparagus spears immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or grated Parmesan cheese.
