Which Cut of Chicken Should I Use?

Here, I used chicken tenderloins, but you can easily use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or even thighs as long as you cut them up into chunks or bite-sized pieces.

What Type of Potatoes Can I Use?

Here, I used baby potatoes that I cut in half because I know that they cook up quickly and crispy and keep their shape. You can also use small red potatoes, peeled russet potatoes, cut in chunks, or even sweet potatoes that are peeled and cut in chunks. Cooking time may vary, so make sure they’re tender enough before adding them to the skillet with the chicken.

I Don’t Have an Air Fryer. How Should I Cook the Potatoes?

I love my air fryer for quick cooking, as with these baby potatoes for this recipe, but you can also use a traditional oven to cook the potatoes, but it will take longer, so plan! Another method is to parboil them before cooking them in the skillet.

Oven Method: Just season and toss them in oil according to the recipe and put them on a lined sheet pan in a 425-degree Fahrenheit oven for 30-40 minutes. Tip: you can also make these the day before, cool them, and stash them in the fridge. Pull them out when you’re ready to use them for this recipe and just add them to the skillet when it’s time. Make sure they’re warmed through before continuing with the recipe.
Skillet Method: Cut the baby potatoes in half, and add them to boiling water until they start to just become tender. Remove and drain well. Toss with oil and season according to the recipe before adding to a hot skillet and cooking until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Remove from the skillet set aside and continue with the recipe until it’s time to add the potatoes back to the skillet.

What to Serve with Garlic Parm Chicken and Potatoes

A simple green salad is always an easy side dish, but another quick and tasty idea is my air fryer roasted Brussels sprouts. Or how about my easy asparagus dish? And of course, you’ll need some cheesy garlic bread to go with this chicken dinner! Finish it off with a piece of my scrumptious no-bake Oreo cookie delight.
