Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts, cubed

• 4–5 small to medium-sized potatoes, peeled and cubed

• Olive oil

• Salt and pepper

• Garlic powder

• Paprika

• 2 tablespoons butter

• 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper

• 1 teaspoon each of paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning

• 2 tablespoons minced garlic

• Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce (or preferred brand)

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash, peel, and cube the potatoes. Toss them in olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

2. Air Fry the Potatoes: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for about 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the potatoes are crispy and tender.

3. Cook the Chicken: While the potatoes are cooking, season the cubed chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.

4. Sauté the Chicken: In a skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and is golden brown.

5. Add Garlic and Sauce: Add minced garlic to the skillet with the chicken and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the Garlic Parmesan sauce and stir to coat the chicken evenly.

6. Combine Potatoes and Chicken: Once the potatoes are done, add them to the skillet with the chicken and sauce. Toss everything together to combine.

7. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it sit for a few minutes until the cheese melts, or place the skillet under a broiler for 2-3 minutes for a golden, bubbly top.

8. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
