- ½ tablespoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoon thyme
BBQ Chicken
- 3 chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- 2 teaspoon dry parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon adobo
- ½ tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 tablespoon gluten free BBQ sauce

Instructions
For the Potatoes
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and dice them into even, bite-size chunks.
- Add the potatoes to a bowl with the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and thyme. Then, toss them until coated thoroughly.
- Place the seasoned potatoes in an even layer in your air fryer basket and cook them for 20 to 25 minutes at 385 degrees. Be sure to flip the potatoes halfway through cooking for even browning.
For the Chicken (While the Potatoes Cook)
- Dice the chicken into bite-sized cubes and add them to the bowls you used for the potatoes.
- Add the paprika, onion powder, mustard powder, parsley, brown sugar, salt, and adobo to the bowl and toss to coat the chicken thoroughly.
- Add the oil to a large oven-safe skillet and preheat it on medium-high heat. Then, cook the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
- Add the tomato paste and BBQ sauce to the skillet and stir. Then, cook for 1 to 2 minutes to let the flavors meld and heat up the sauce.
- Add the potatoes to the skillet and stir. Then, top the chicken and potatoes with the mozzarella cheese.
- Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 5 to 10 minutes until the cheese has melted. Enjoy!

Notes
Storage
- Refrigerate for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
- Freeze for up to 3 months in an airtight, freezer-safe container.
- Defrost overnight in the refrigerator if frozen. Then, reheat in the microwave at 1-minute intervals.
- Always preheat your air fryer for even cooking and accurate cooking times. It only takes about 5 minutes.
- Preheat the oil before adding the chicken to ensure it begins to sear immediately, creating a nice color and locking in the juices.
- Use an oven-safe skillet, and never use anything with a plastic or wooden handle. Cast iron is always your best choice.
