Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.75 lbs chicken breast (cubed, 800g)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons mixed herbs
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1.75 lbs potatoes (cubed, 800g)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (for potatoes)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon mixed herbs (for potatoes)
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes (for potatoes)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (for potatoes)
  • 0.5 cup milk (any type, 120ml)
  • 3.5 oz light cream cheese (100g)
  • 1.4 oz grated Parmesan cheese (40g)
  • 1.75 oz shredded mozzarella (50g)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Combine the cubed chicken breast, minced garlic, onion powder, mixed herbs, chili flakes, paprika, salt, and olive oil in a large bowl. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
  2. Heat a large, deep pan over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, add the seasoned chicken. Sauté for about 5-6 minutes, allowing it to develop a nice golden color.
  3. Mix the cubed potatoes with salt, garlic powder, mixed herbs, chili flakes, and paprika in a separate bowl.
  4. Air fry the seasoned potatoes at 400°F for 18-20 minutes or roast them in the oven for 20-23 minutes until they become crispy.
  5. Stir in the milk and cream cheese with the golden chicken. Mix until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  6. Add the grated Parmesan and mozzarella cheese to the chicken, stirring until everything is melted and well combined.
  7. Fold the crispy potatoes into the chicken and cheese mixture. Cover it and let it rest for about 4-5 minutes.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately for a warm, comforting meal.

Notes

For best results, marinate the chicken for an hour or overnight, and consider using pre-cut chicken or frozen potatoes for a quick meal.
