Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Chicken

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Vegetables and Toppings

  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
  • Optional: hot sauce or your favorite dressing for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes.
  2. Prepare Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the diced potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Roast Potatoes: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  4. Sauté Chicken: While potatoes roast, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces with garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 6-8 minutes until chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
  5. Cook Vegetables: Add broccoli florets and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender yet crisp.
  6. Combine Ingredients: Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven and add them to the skillet with the chicken and vegetables. Toss everything together thoroughly to combine flavors.
  7. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture in the skillet. Allow the cheese to melt slightly from the residual heat.
  8. Serve: Serve the crispy potato and chicken mixture in bowls. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and add hot sauce or your favorite dressing if desired.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can soak diced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting, then dry thoroughly.
  • Feel free to substitute cheddar cheese with mozzarella or a dairy-free cheese alternative.
  • To make the dish spicier, add cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the chicken seasoning.
  • Leftover bowls store well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat nicely in a skillet or microwave.
