Air Fryer Chicken and Potatoes
The delicious meal of Air Fryer Chicken and Potatoes, which is made with tender, juicy chicken breasts and well-seasoned potato cubes, is ideal for a fast and simple supper. Due to the air fryer’s high heat and the fine olive oil coating, the cooked potatoes are crispy on the outside and fluffy inside.
This flavorful chicken breast and potatoes cooked in the air fryer and seasoned with your favorite spices makes a pleasant chicken dinner for any night of the week. Your chicken breasts will have a crispy exterior and soft, juicy interior after being cooked in your air fryer.
With a drizzle of olive oil, the delicious potatoes are cooked to perfection in the air fryer basket. You don’t need to stress about spending a lot of time prepping for this simple dinner.
Because it is quick and simple and doesn’t overheat the home in the summer, I like to air fry our meals at least once a week.
In fact, from eggs to steaks, I’ll air cook just about anything that will fit in my air fryer basket. The hot air in the air fryer gives chicken breasts a lovely crispy coating that makes them delicious.
On busy days, a simple supper of chicken and potatoes with seasoned salt and black pepper works well.
Garlic powder, smoked paprika, and thinly sliced green onions are used to season the food well. It is served ideally with some greens or some melted cheese on top.
For a complete cooked dinner, any type of chicken and potato recipe can be served with any other veggies or side dishes.
How to serve:
This easy dinner recipe is ready in less than half an hour and can be served alone as a whole meal or you could add your favorite side dishes.
