Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 chicken breasts, cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce, amount to taste
Potatoes
- 4–5 small/medium-sized potatoes, washed, peeled, and cut into small cubes
- Olive oil, for tossing
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Prep and Air Fry Potatoes: Wash, peel, and cut the potatoes into small cubes. Toss them in olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated. Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket and cook at 400°F for approximately 20 minutes, shaking the basket a few times during cooking to ensure even crisping.
- Cook Chicken: While the potatoes are air frying, cube the chicken breasts. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cubes to the skillet and cook until they are browned on the outside and cooked through on the inside. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning while cooking.
- Combine Ingredients: Once the chicken is cooked, add the minced garlic and Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce to the skillet. Stir well to thoroughly coat the chicken in the sauce. Then add the air-fried potatoes to the skillet and toss everything together to combine the flavors.
- Melt Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken and potato mixture. Place the skillet under a broiler in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Alternatively, cover the skillet with a lid and let it sit on the stovetop on low heat until the cheese has melted completely.
- Serve: Serve the garlic parmesan chicken and potatoes immediately while hot, enjoying the melty cheese and savory garlic flavors.
Notes
- For a crispier crust on the potatoes, try soaking cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before air frying, then dry thoroughly.
- If you don’t have Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce, you can substitute with any garlic parmesan style wing sauce or make your own using butter, garlic, parmesan, and a touch of cream.
- To make the recipe dairy-free, omit the mozzarella cheese or use a dairy-free cheese alternative.
- Adjust the seasoning amounts based on your taste preference, especially salt and paprika.
- Make sure to shake the air fryer basket during the cooking process for evenly cooked potatoes.
