Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken breast, cubed

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• 1 teaspoon mixed herbs (such as thyme and rosemary)

• 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 large potatoes, sliced

• 1 cup milk

• 1/2 cup light cream

• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

• 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Cube the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.

   • In a bowl, combine the chicken with minced garlic, onion powder, mixed herbs, chili flakes, paprika, salt, and olive oil. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.

2. Season the Potatoes:

   • Slice the potatoes into thin rounds.

   • In a separate bowl, toss the potato slices with salt, garlic, mixed herbs, chili flakes, paprika, and olive oil until well coated.

3. Cooking:

   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or set your air fryer to the appropriate setting.

   • Spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet and bake or air fry until crispy, approximately 20-25 minutes.

   • In a large skillet over high heat, cook the chicken for about 5 minutes until browned.

   • Reduce the heat to medium, then add milk, light cream, Parmesan cheese, and additional seasoning to the skillet. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.

4. Combine and Finish:

   • Once the chicken is cooked through, add the crispy potatoes to the skillet.

   • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the top.

   • Cover the skillet and let it sit for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

5. Serve:

   • Divide the dish into four equal servings for meal prep or serve immediately.

Tips for Best Results

• Ensure the chicken is fully cooked before adding the potatoes to avoid undercooked meat.

• Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference; more chili flakes for heat or more herbs for an aromatic flavor.

• For a lighter version, use low-fat cheese and cream.
