When you have had a long day and need a comforting dinner without a mountain of dishes, this air fryer recipe is a lifesaver. It is perfect for busy weeknights because the air fryer does all the hard work while keeping the chicken juicy and the potatoes perfectly crispy.

I love this meal because it is so simple to prepare and naturally flavorful. Just be sure to cut your ingredients into even, one inch pieces so everything cooks through at the same time. It is a fantastic go to meal that even the picky eaters in your house will enjoy.

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your air fryer to 375°F.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, oregano, red chili flakes, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with 2 tablespoons of oil, half the minced garlic, and half of the seasoning mixture.

  4. 4

    Place the potatoes into the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.

  5. 5

    While the potatoes cook, toss the chicken pieces in the same bowl with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, the rest of the garlic, and the remaining seasoning.

  6. 6

    After the potatoes have cooked for 10 minutes, push them to one side of the basket and add the chicken pieces to the other side.

  7. 7

    Cook for an additional 10 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the pieces halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are golden.

  8. 8

    Let the food rest for 5 minutes before serving.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can reheat them in the air fryer at 350°F for a few minutes to bring back the crispiness. Serve this topped with fresh sliced green onions or a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
