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:

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.
Cook the potatoes: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and cook the potatoes for about 20 minutes. Shake the basket a couple of times to ensure even cooking. The potatoes should be crispy on the outside and tender inside.
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.
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.
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.
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.

How to Serve Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes Skillet

Serve the dish hot from the skillet. You can plate it in individual bowls or serve it family-style right from the skillet. This dish goes well with a side salad or steamed vegetables. Drizzle a little more Garlic Parmesan sauce on top for an extra flavor boost.

How to Store Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes Skillet

To store leftovers, let the skillet cool completely before transferring the food to an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply microwave it or warm it up in a skillet over medium heat until heated through.

Tips to Make Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes Skillet

Make sure to cut the potatoes into even sizes for cooking evenly.
Don’t overcrowd the air fryer; this helps the potatoes stay crispy.
Try using different seasonings to match your taste preferences.
For extra crunch, you can sprinkle some breadcrumbs on top before adding cheese.

Variation (If Any)

For a healthier twist, you can substitute the potatoes with sweet potatoes. You can also use other types of chicken, like thighs, or add vegetables such as broccoli or bell peppers to the dish.

FAQs

Can I use frozen chicken for this recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen chicken, but make sure to fully thaw it before cooking to ensure it cooks evenly.

How do I know when the chicken is fully cooked?

The chicken is fully cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165°F. You can use a meat thermometer for accuracy.

Can I make this dish in the oven instead of the skillet?

Yes, you can bake the chicken and potatoes together in the oven. Just make sure the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are crispy. Preheat the oven to 400°F and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until done.
