Topping
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash, peel, and cut the russet potatoes into small cubes to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.
- Season Potatoes: Toss the cubed potatoes in olive oil and season liberally with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika so they are evenly coated for maximum flavor.
- Air Fry Potatoes: Place the seasoned potatoes in an air fryer and cook at 400°F for about 25 minutes, shaking the basket a few times during cooking for even crisping.
- Prepare Chicken: While the potatoes cook, cut the chicken breasts into cubes ensuring uniform pieces for even cooking.
- Cook Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the chicken cubes and cook until browned and cooked through.
- Season Chicken: Sprinkle the cooked chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning to infuse a robust flavor.
- Add Garlic and Sauce: Stir in the minced garlic and enough Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce to coat the chicken evenly; cook briefly to let flavors meld.
- Combine Potatoes and Chicken: Add the crispy air-fried potatoes to the skillet with the chicken and gently stir everything together to mix flavors.
- Top with Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the potato and chicken mixture.
- Melt Cheese: Broil the skillet in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles. Alternatively, cover with a lid and let it melt on the stove top.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish with a sprinkle of dried parsley and an extra drizzle of Parmesan Garlic Sauce if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Peeling potatoes is optional; leaving the skin on adds texture and nutrients.
- Adjust seasonings to your preference, especially the garlic Parmesan sauce, which can be spicy.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, roast the potatoes in a 425°F oven for about 30-35 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Use fresh garlic for best flavor when adding to the chicken.
- Broiling cheese should be watched carefully to avoid burning.
- The Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce brand can be substituted with any similar garlic Parmesan sauce or homemade version.
