Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time22 minutes
2 servings

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 potatoes cut into strips
  • 1/2 lb chicken breast diced into bite size cubes
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp dried herbs any type, try sage, thyme, or oregano
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp granulated onion
  • 1/2 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • 4 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Put the chopped potatoes in a bowl, add half of the herbs, spices and salt, as well as 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix well to coat.
  • Transfer the potatoes to the air fryer basket in a single layer. Some overlapping is ok. Air Fry for 10 minutes at 400ºF/200ºC.
  • While the potatoes cook, transfer the diced chicken to a bowl, add salt, the remaining seasonings, and remaining olive oil. Mix everything thoroughly.
  • Move the fried potatoes to the side of the air fryer basket so that they occupy only half of the grate. Put the chicken on the other half of the basket. Air fry the chicken and potatoes together for another 12 minutes at 400ºF/200ºC.
  • After 12 minutes, if the chicken and potatoes are not browned enough, turn them over and cook for another 3 minutes at 400ºF/200ºC.
  • Check to be sure that the chicken is fully cooked, to an internal temperature of 165°F/74°C, and serve immediately with dipping sauces and side dishes if desired.

Notes

  • This recipe serves two people perfectly, or make it for 1 and enjoy leftovers the next day. 
  • Adjust the Seasonings. Instead of the spices and herbs listed here, make things even easier and use your favorite spice blend. Italian seasoning, Cajun seasoning, or Jerk seasoning would all be tasty. Add a bit of chili powder or cayenne to the mix if you like it spicy!
  • Temp the chicken. Chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Use a thermometer to check a few pieces to be sure that they're good to go.
  • Instead of potatoes, you can use other root vegetables, such as carrots or sweet potatoes. These veggies might cook a bit more quickly though, so be ready to pull them out early if needed.
  • Add sliced onion and/or bell pepper in with the chicken to add even more flavor, and get some veggies in the mix.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
