Ingredients
Chicken
- 1 lb chicken breasts, cut into cubes
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1-2 tbsp minced garlic
- Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce (enough to coat the chicken)
Potatoes
- 4-5 small to medium-sized russet potatoes, washed, peeled, and cut into small cubes
- Olive oil (enough to coat potatoes)
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- Garlic powder (to taste)
- Paprika (to taste)
Topping
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Dried parsley (optional, for garnish)
- Additional Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes: Wash, peel, and cut the russet potatoes into small cubes. Toss them thoroughly with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, ensuring every piece is well coated with the seasoning and oil.
- Air fry the potatoes: Place the seasoned potatoes in an air fryer and cook at 400°F (200°C) for about 25 minutes. Shake the basket at least a couple of times during cooking to promote even crisping.
- Prepare the chicken: While the potatoes are halfway through cooking, cut the chicken breasts into cubes to prepare for cooking.
- Cook the chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cubes and cook until done, seasoning with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper, and 1 teaspoon each of paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning during cooking.
- Add garlic and sauce to chicken: Once the chicken is cooked through, add the minced garlic and enough Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce to coat the chicken evenly. Stir well to combine flavors.
- Combine potatoes and chicken: Add the crispy air-fried potatoes to the skillet with the coated chicken. Stir gently to combine the ingredients thoroughly.
- Add cheese topping: Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the mixture in the skillet.
- Melt the cheese: Place the skillet under the oven broiler for a few minutes until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly. Alternatively, cover the skillet with a lid and let it sit on the stove top until the cheese melts.
- Garnish and serve: Optionally, top with dried parsley and drizzle a little extra Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust seasoning quantities on potatoes according to personal preference since exact measurements are not specified.
- The air fryer is essential for achieving the crispy texture on potatoes; alternatively, roasting could be used but will change cooking times.
- Watch the broiler carefully when melting cheese to prevent burning—it should only take a few minutes.
- Use fresh garlic minced fine for the best flavor infusion in the chicken.
- This dish combines multiple cooking methods: air frying for potatoes and stovetop skillet cooking followed by oven broiling for finishing.
