Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 5 small to medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper (to taste for potatoes)
- Garlic powder (to taste for potatoes)
- Paprika (to taste for potatoes)
- ½ teaspoon salt (for chicken)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper (for chicken)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- ½ cup BBQ sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Peel, wash, and cut the potatoes into evenly sized cubes.
- Toss potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until well coated.
- Air fry at 400°F for 20–25 minutes, shaking the basket a few times, until crispy and golden.
- While potatoes cook, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and melt 1 tablespoon butter.
- Add cubed chicken and cook until browned and cooked through.
- Season chicken with ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, paprika, ranch seasoning, and onion powder. Stir well.
- Add remaining butter and minced garlic. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in BBQ sauce and reduce heat slightly.
- Add cooked potatoes to the skillet and gently mix everything together.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the top.
- Broil for 2–4 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly (or cover with lid on stovetop until melted).
- Drizzle extra BBQ sauce over the top and serve hot.
Notes
- No air fryer? Roast potatoes at 425°F for 25–35 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Chicken thighs can be substituted for extra juiciness.
- Use spicy BBQ sauce for added heat.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat in a skillet for best texture.
