Equipment
- Flat Top Griddle or use skillets on stovetop
- Grill Dome for melting cheese
Ingredients
Potatoes
- 4 Large Potatoes peeled and cubed
- 1 tablespoon Bacon Up or oil of choice
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
Chicken
- 1½ Lb Chicken Breasts
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 3 Cloves Garlic minced
- ½ Cup BBQ Sauce add more if desired
- 1 Cup Mozzarella Cheese shredded
- 2 Green Onions use greens for topping
Instructions
- Peel and cube potatoes about 1.5 inches thick.
- Season them with melted Bacon Up (or oil of choice), salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika.
- Oil griddle and preheat to medium-high heat. Cook potatoes, tossing them every 5 minutes so they don't burn. This took about 20 minutes.
- Cube chicken breasts and season with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder and onion powder. (this is done while potatoes cook)
- Add chicken to the other side of skillet on a slightly lower heat (medium). Once cooked, add in minced garlic and top with BBQ sauce. Toss chicken and add more Bacon Up as needed.
- Once potatoes are cooked and fork tender, layer the chicken over the top of potatoes. Top with cheese and melt. (I used a dome to melt cheese quicker)
- Top with chives and serve!
Notes
Storage:
Refrigerate BBQ Chicken and Potatoes for up to 4 days in an airtight container. It can also be frozen in an airtight container for up to 2-3 months.
Reheat in an air fryer or oven for a few minutes until warmed through and potatoes are crisp again on the outside.
Tips:
- Cut the potatoes and chicken all the same size. This helps with even cooking so nothing is overcooked or tough in texture.
- Use a metal bowl to help the cheese melt quickly. You can add it as a "dome" on top of the chicken and cheese to help everything melt together. Use tongs to safely remove so you don't burn yourself.
- If you are using a skillet, resist the urge to cook everything at once. Cook the potatoes and chicken in batches to allow for even browning.
