Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 chicken breasts, cubed

  • 4–5 small to medium potatoes, cubed

  • Olive oil (for tossing potatoes)

  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

  • Garlic powder (for potatoes)

  • Paprika (for potatoes)

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • ½ teaspoon salt (for chicken)

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper (for chicken)

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic

  • Garlic Parmesan sauce (such as Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce), to taste

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Potatoes

Wash, peel (optional), and cube the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Toss them in olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.

2️⃣ Cook the Potatoes

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Cook the potatoes for about 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. They should be crispy outside and tender inside.
No air fryer? Roast in the oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25–30 minutes.

3️⃣ Season the Chicken

Cut chicken breasts into small cubes. In a bowl, season with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix well to coat evenly.

4️⃣ Cook the Chicken

Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F / 74°C).

5️⃣ Add Garlic & Sauce

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add your garlic parmesan sauce and stir to coat the chicken evenly. Let it simmer for 1–2 minutes.

6️⃣ Combine Everything

Add the crispy potatoes to the skillet. Toss gently so the potatoes soak up the flavorful sauce.

7️⃣ Melt the Cheese

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the top. Cover with a lid and cook on low until melted, or place under the broiler for 2–3 minutes until bubbly and slightly golden.

Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Cut evenly: Keep potato and chicken pieces similar in size for even cooking.

  • Don’t overcrowd: Cook chicken in batches if needed to ensure browning.

  • Extra crispy potatoes: Soak cubed potatoes in cold water for 20 minutes before cooking, then pat dry.

  • Add veggies: Broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers make great additions.

  • Make it spicy: Add red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce.
