How to Make Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes Skillet
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts, cubed
- 4–5 small/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
1️⃣ Prepare the potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into small cubes. Toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
2️⃣ Cook the potatoes: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and cook the potatoes for about 20 minutes, shaking the basket a couple of times to ensure even cooking. The potatoes should be crispy on the outside and tender inside.
3️⃣ Season the chicken: While the potatoes are cooking, cut the chicken breasts into small cubes. In a bowl, season the chicken with ½ teaspoon each of salt and pepper, and 1 teaspoon each of paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
4️⃣ Cook the chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken cubes and cook until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F and are fully cooked through.
5️⃣ 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.
6️⃣ 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.
7️⃣ Melt the cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the skillet. Either cover the skillet with a lid until the cheese melts or transfer the skillet to the oven under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
