Alice Springs Chicken Potatoes (Printer-Friendly)

A hearty skillet meal with golden chicken, crispy bacon, sautéed mushrooms, and air-fried potatoes.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Potatoes

01 - 3 medium Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
02 - 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon seasoned salt

→ Poultry

04 - 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced (approximately 340 grams)

→ Vegetables

05 - 150 grams Baby Bella mushrooms, diced
06 - 1 medium yellow onion, diced

→ Meat

07 - 4 thick slices bacon, diced

→ Spices

08 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
09 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
10 - 1 teaspoon paprika

→ Dairy

11 - 120 grams shredded Colby Jack cheese

→ Sauce

12 - 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons honey mustard sauce (store-bought or homemade)

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Rinse diced potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove excess starch. Pat dry completely with a clean towel. Toss potatoes with olive oil and seasoned salt until evenly coated. Air fry at 400°F for 20 minutes, shaking basket occasionally for uniform crispness.
02 - In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook diced bacon until crispy and fat is rendered, about 5-7 minutes. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving sufficient bacon grease in the skillet to prevent sticking.
03 - Add diced onions and Baby Bella mushrooms to the reserved bacon grease. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened and fragrant without browning excessively.
04 - Push vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add diced chicken, season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and additional seasoned salt. Stir to coat evenly. Cook 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
05 - Incorporate air-fried potatoes into the skillet. Pour in 1/4 cup honey mustard sauce and stir gently to combine all components evenly.
06 - Top the skillet mixture with shredded Colby Jack cheese and crispy bacon pieces.
07 - Transfer skillet to a preheated oven at 350°F. Bake for 5-10 minutes until the cheese fully melts and ingredients are heated through. Remove from oven and drizzle remaining 2 tablespoons honey mustard sauce over the top before serving.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - For crispiest potatoes, ensure they are thoroughly dried before air frying. Freshly grate cheese for optimal melt and flavor.
02 - Check chicken internal temperature with a meat thermometer to confirm it reaches 165°F for safety.
03 - This dish is naturally gluten free, but verify honey mustard ingredients to avoid hidden gluten.
04 - Leftovers improve in flavor after refrigeration and can be reheated gently to maintain moisture.
