Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts, cubed

  • 45 small/medium potatoes, cubed

  • Olive oil (for tossing potatoes)

  • Salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika (for seasoning potatoes)

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper (for seasoning chicken)

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • 2 tbsp minced garlic

  • Garlic Parmesan sauce (Buffalo Wild Wings or homemade, as desired)

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

1. Prepare the Potatoes

  • Wash, peel, and cube the potatoes.

  • Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.

2. Cook the Potatoes

  • Preheat an air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

  • Cook potatoes for 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Potatoes should be crispy on the outside and tender inside.

3. Season the Chicken

  • Cube the chicken breasts.

  • In a bowl, season with ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp onion powder, and 1 tsp Italian seasoning.

4. Cook the Chicken

  • Heat 2 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.

  • Add the chicken and cook until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and fully cooked.

5. Add Garlic and Sauce

  • Stir in minced garlic and garlic parmesan sauce.

  • Cook 1–2 minutes, coating the chicken evenly.

6. Combine Potatoes and Chicken

  • Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet.

  • Toss everything together so the potatoes are coated with the sauce.

7. Melt the Cheese

  • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top.

  • Cover the skillet with a lid or place under a broiler for a few minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • Crispy potatoes: Use an air fryer or oven to ensure extra crispiness.

  • Cheese alternatives: Try provolone, gouda, or pepper jack for different flavors.

  • Make it lighter: Use less sauce or a low-fat version.

  • Meal prep: This dish keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven to maintain crispiness.
