Description

A high-protein, comforting dish featuring tender chicken, crispy potatoes, and a creamy garlic Parmesan sauce. Perfect for a satisfying meal any day of the week.


Ingredients

800g chicken breast, cubed

34 garlic cloves, minced

2 tsp onion powder

2 tsp mixed herbs

1 tsp chili flakes

2 tsp paprika

1 tsp salt

2 tsp olive oil

800g uncooked potatoes, cubed

1 tsp salt

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp mixed herbs

1 tsp chili flakes

1 tsp paprika

Optional: Olive oil or cooking spray

120ml milk (any type)

100g light cream cheese (Philadelphia Lightest)

40g grated Parmesan

Extra seasoning (salt, garlic, mixed herbs)

50g shredded mozzarella (or any low-fat cheese)

Fresh parsley for garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat air fryer or oven to 200°C (400°F). Cook cubed potatoes for 18-20 minutes in the air fryer or 20-23 minutes in the oven until golden and crispy.
  2. While potatoes cook, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cubed chicken seasoned with garlic, onion powder, mixed herbs, chili flakes, paprika, and salt.
  3. Sauté the chicken for 5-6 minutes until fully cooked.
  4. Lower the heat and add milk and cream cheese to the pan. Stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  5. Add crispy potatoes to the pan, sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top, and cover for 4-5 minutes until cheese melts.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a microwave or hot pan to retain crispiness.
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese for a lower-fat option.
  • Chicken thighs can be used for a richer flavor.
  • Ensure potatoes are in a single layer for maximum crispiness.
