Air fryer Chicken & Potatoes
If you haven’t made this Air fryer chicken and potatoes, then you haven’t used your Air fryer to the fullest. Boneless chicken breast and potatoes are tossed with butter and a ranch-based seasoning, and air-fried until they have caramelized edges and are cooked to juicy perfection.
One of my favorite ways to cook chicken and potatoes is to use an air fryer. Potatoes get roasted well with crispy edges and boneless chicken breast remains tender. And to make this Air fryer chicken and potatoes recipe even more simple, I have tossed chicken and potatoes in ranch seasoning, paprika, garlic powder and butter. It litterally takes less than 30 minutes to make this dinner and trust me you will keep coming back to this air fryer recipe time and again.

- Seasoning– Ranch and chicken taste amazing. Then for a bit of colour and heat, I added paprika, garlic powder
How To Make Airfryer Chicken and Potatoes
- Preheat the Air Fryer to 400 F (200°C).

Tips to cook chicken and potatoes perfectly in the Air fryer
- Cut potatoes and chicken to similar sizes, for even cooking.
- Chicken needs to at room temperature for even cooking.

- Chicken and potatoes get cooked perfectly with crispy edges when the basket is not overcrowded. If the chicken or potatoes are overlapping, then it will steam instead.
