This Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Potatoes is pure comfort food with a shortcut twist. It brings together juicy bites of seared chicken, crispy golden potatoes, and a creamy garlic parmesan sauce finished off with a blanket of gooey mozzarella. I reach for this recipe on busy nights when everyone wants something cozy but I do not have hours to spend in the kitchen.

After a long workday, this has become my back pocket dinner. My family inhaled it the first time and now it is on constant rotation every month.

Ingredients

  • Chicken breasts: tender and lean look for ones that are even in thickness for the juiciest bites
  • Small or medium potatoes: these crisp up fast smaller Yukon golds are my favorite
  • Olive oil: adds richness use extra virgin for the best flavor
  • Salt and pepper: essential base for seasoning brings out all the flavors
  • Garlic powder and minced garlic: double dose for bold garlic in every bite
  • Paprika: adds warmth and color opt for sweet rather than smoked
  • Butter: brings richness and helps the chicken brown
  • Onion powder and Italian seasoning: gives savory depth with herby notes
  • Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce: makes this recipe so delicious
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese: melts beautifully look for whole milk mozzarella for the gooiest topping

Instructions

Prep the Potatoes:
Wash and peel the potatoes then cut them into small even cubes for perfect crisping. Toss well with olive oil salt pepper garlic powder and paprika so each potato gets coated. This helps them roast evenly and pick up flavor.
Air Fry the Potatoes:
Arrange potatoes in a single layer in your air fryer basket at four hundred degrees Fahrenheit. Cook for about twenty minutes shaking the basket a couple of times so all sides get golden and crispy. Taste one to be sure it is perfectly tender inside.
Cube and Season the Chicken:
Cut chicken breasts into bite-size cubes. Pat them dry with a towel so they brown well. Season all sides generously with salt pepper paprika onion powder and Italian seasoning. Press the seasoning in so it sticks for maximum flavor.
Cook the Chicken:
Set a large skillet over medium-high heat and add butter. When melted and foamy add the seasoned chicken. Sauté until golden on all sides and the internal temperature reaches one hundred sixty five degrees Fahrenheit which keeps it juicy.
Finish with Garlic and Sauce:
Lower the heat and stir in minced garlic. Sauté for about thirty seconds just until fragrant so it does not burn. Pour in Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce and toss the chicken pieces until they are well coated.
Combine with Potatoes and Top with Cheese:
Add the air-fried potatoes to the skillet and stir gently to coat everything in the sauce. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese across the top. Cover with a lid to melt the cheese or broil under the oven to get it bubbly and lightly browned. Everything should meld together into a creamy cheesy layer.

I am always amazed by how well the Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce ties everything together. My favorite memory with this dish was making it for a family board game night and watching everyone sneak seconds right from the skillet.

Storage Tips

Leftovers store beautifully in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For the best texture reheat in a skillet over medium heat or the oven at three hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit. The potatoes stay crispier this way than the microwave.

Easy Ingredient Swaps

You can swap Yukon gold potatoes with russets or red potatoes if that is what you have. Boneless chicken thighs work instead of breasts for more juicy flavor. If you do not have the Buffalo Wild Wings sauce any garlicky parmesan sauce or even homemade garlic butter will be delicious.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this dish straight from the skillet with a side green salad or steamed broccoli for freshness. A sprinkle of fresh parsley over the top right before serving adds a nice pop of color and flavor. My kids love it with extra mozzarella on top.
