Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts, cubed
4–5 small to medium-sized potatoes, cubed
Olive oil (for tossing the potatoes)
Salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika (for seasoning potatoes)
2 tablespoons butter
½ teaspoon each of salt and pepper (for seasoning chicken)
1 teaspoon each of paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons minced garlic
Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce (as desired)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions:
Prepare the Potatoes: Wash, peel, and cut the potatoes into small cubes. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until well coated.
Cook the Potatoes: Place the seasoned potatoes in an air fryer basket and cook at 400°F for about 20 minutes, shaking the basket a couple of times during cooking to ensure even browning.
Prepare the Chicken: While the potatoes cook, cut the chicken breasts into small cubes. Season them evenly with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the seasoned chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and golden on the outside, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
Add Garlic and Sauce: Stir in the minced garlic and Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce (use as much as desired) to the skillet. Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes, stirring to coat the chicken evenly in the sauce.
Combine Potatoes and Chicken: Once the air-fried potatoes are done, add them to the skillet with the chicken. Toss everything together so the potatoes are coated with the sauce.
Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Cover the skillet and cook until the cheese melts, or place it under a broiler for a few minutes to achieve a bubbly, golden top.
