Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into chunks
- 1 pound baby potatoes halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine chicken chunks and halved potatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat.
- Sprinkle garlic powder, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper over the mixture. Toss until evenly coated.
- Place the chicken and potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Air fry for 20–25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are golden and crispy.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- Cut potatoes and chicken to similar sizes for even cooking.
- Use chicken thighs for juicier results, or breasts for a leaner option.
- Add vegetables like bell peppers or green beans in the last 10 minutes of cooking for a complete meal.
