Ingredients
Chicken
- 600 g chicken breast
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 0.75 tsp salt
- 0.75 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp oregano
- 0.75 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp chili
- 3 garlic cloves
Potatoes
- 600 g potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp potato spices
Sauce
- 20 g butter or olive oil
- 1 onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp tomato sauce (or 1 tsp of tomato paste)
- 150 ml chicken stock
- 100 g cream cheese
Instructions
- Clean the potatoes, peel them, and cut each one into 4 or 6 pieces depending on the size. Try to keep the pieces as similar in size as possible. Place the potatoes in a bowl, add the spices and olive oil, and mix well.
- Cook the potatoes in an air fryer at 200°C for 20 minutes, turning them after 15 minutes. You can also bake them in the oven at 200°C for 30 to 40 minutes.
- Slice the chicken into small cubes, about 1 cm in size. Add the spices, olive oil, and crushed garlic, then mix to coat the chicken evenly.
- Heat a pan over slightly higher than medium heat and cook the chicken until it becomes golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes in a skillet. Once done, transfer the chicken to a bowl.
- Dice the onion into small pieces.
- In the same pan, add butter or olive oil along with the onion. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes, until the onion begins to turn golden. Add the crushed garlic and cook for one more minute.
- Add the tomato sauce and stir to combine. Add the chicken stock, mix again, and then add the cream cheese. Stir until the cream cheese has completely melted. Once it melts, let the sauce simmer for a couple of minutes before adding the cooked chicken back into the pan.
- Let everything simmer together for another 2 to 4 minutes, then remove from the heat.
- Serve the chicken with the potatoes and enjoy.
