Scale
Chicken
- 1 pound chicken tenderloins or breasts, cut into bite size pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 1/2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup garlic parmesan wing sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Potatoes
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 1/2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Set out a baking sheet ready to roast the potatoes.
- Prepare Chicken: Trim any fat from the chicken and cut into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large bowl and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Prepare Potatoes: In another large bowl, add the halved baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Mix Seasonings: In a small bowl, combine paprika, poultry seasoning, and black pepper.
- Season Meat and Potatoes: Sprinkle half the seasoning mix evenly over the chicken and the other half over the potatoes. Toss both to coat evenly.
- Roast Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
- Cook Chicken: While potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 7-10 minutes until browned and fully cooked through.
- Add Butter and Garlic: Once chicken is cooked, add butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let the garlic soften, about 1-2 minutes.
- Combine Potatoes and Chicken: Remove the potatoes from the oven and add them to the skillet with the chicken. Toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly. Turn off the heat.
- Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour the garlic parmesan wing sauce over the mixture and toss to coat everything well. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the top.
- Melt Cheese: Cover the skillet with a lid and let it sit for approximately 5 minutes off the heat, allowing the mozzarella to melt perfectly.
- Serve: Once cheese is melted, serve the garlic parmesan chicken and potatoes warm for a savory, hearty meal.
Notes
- You can substitute baby potatoes with fingerlings or small red potatoes for similar results.
- For a spicier kick, consider adding crushed red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.
- The garlic parmesan wing sauce can be homemade or store-bought depending on preference.
- Make sure not to overcook the chicken to keep it moist and tender.
- For a dairy-free version, omit the mozzarella or swap with a dairy-free cheese alternative.
