Ingredients
- 28 ounce chicken breast, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoon mixed herbs
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes
- 2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon olive oil
- 28 ounce potatoes, cubed
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 ounce milk
- 3.5 ounce cream cheese
- 1.5 ounce Parmesan cheese
- 2 ounce mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped chicken breast with the minced garlic, onion powder, mixed herbs, chili flakes, paprika, salt, and olive oil. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings.
- Toss the cubed potatoes with salt, garlic powder, mixed herbs, chili flakes, and paprika. Spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with a bit of olive oil or cooking spray. Air fry at 400°F for 18-20 minutes, or oven bake at 400°F for 20-23 minutes, until crispy and golden brown.
- In a large skillet over high heat, cook the seasoned chicken mixture for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
- Pour in the milk, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and remaining mixed herbs. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy and smooth.
- Add the crispy potatoes to the chicken mixture and gently toss to combine everything evenly.
- Top the Garlic Cheesy Chicken and Potatoes with the shredded mozzarella cheese and let it melt over the top of the dish.
- Serve the Garlic Cheesy Chicken and Potatoes immediately, while the cheese is hot and melty.
Notes
For the crispiest potatoes, make sure to cut them into evenly sized cubes and spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet or air fryer basket.
When cooking the chicken, be sure to use high heat to achieve a nice, golden-brown sear on the outside while keeping the interior juicy and tender.
Avoid overcooking the cheese, as it can become greasy and separated. Keep a close eye on the dish during the final melting stage.
This dish can be easily prepared in advance. Assemble the components, cover, and refrigerate for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, simply bake or reheat until heated through.
