Air fryer Chicken and Potatoes
Chicken and potatoes done in air fryer is such a satisfying meal. Comes together in under half an hour, it is a favourite in my home. Best of all, you can vary the seasonings as you like.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. chicken breast cubes or 500 gm.
- 2 potatoes cut in cubes
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- ½ tsp. pepper
- 1.5 tsp. paprika
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- 1 tsp. italian seasoning
- ¾ tsp. salt
Directions
- I try to cut the potatoes and chicken into similar bite-sized pieces of about 1 inch cubes. Dry them and keep aside.
- Assemble the spices you are using and mix them well with salt.
- Preheat air fryer at 180C or 360F for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, take potato cubes in a bowl, add half the seasoning mix, about 1 tbsp. with half the olive oil which is also 1 tbsp.
- Mix them well so that all the potato cubes are coated well. Spread them out in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 180C or 360F for about 8 minutes.
- While the potatoes are being cooked, take chicken cubes in a bowl and add the remaining seasoning mix along with olive oil to it. Mix well so that the chicken cubes are well coated.
- After 8 minutes, push the potatoes to one side of the basket. Place the raw seasoned chicken bites in the air fryer basket on the other side.
- Air fry for 10 minutes at 180C or 360F. I checked with a meat thermometer. Once the temperature is above 165F in the thickest part of the chicken, it is cooked.
- If you need more time or your chicken cubes are thicker, air fry for longer.
- Once done, your chicken and potatoes will be delightfully crispy and succulent inside. Take them out and serve hot.
- Your simple yet flavourful chicken and potatoes in air fryer are done. Garnish with chopped parsley and enjoy.
- Storage Instructions: You can store the leftovers after cooling them, in the fridge for 2-3 days. Then reheat till heated through in the air fryer and consume.
- You can freeze them for upto 1-2 months. Don’t thaw. Reheat straight in the air fryer and consume.
