Alice Springs Chicken Potatoes (Printer-Friendly Version)

Tender chicken and crispy potatoes combine with mushrooms and bacon in a flavorful skillet dish.

# Ingredients Needed:

→ Vegetables

01 - 2.5 cups peeled and diced Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
02 - 1 cup diced Baby Bella mushrooms
03 - 0.75 cup diced yellow onion

→ Meat

04 - 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
05 - 0.5 cup diced thick-cut bacon

→ Dairy

06 - 1 cup freshly shredded Colby Jack cheese

→ Condiments & Spices

07 - 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
08 - 1 tablespoon seasoned salt
09 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
10 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
11 - 1 teaspoon paprika
12 - 0.25 cup honey mustard sauce

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Rinse diced potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch. Pat dry thoroughly with a clean towel. Toss potatoes with olive oil and seasoned salt until fully coated. Air fry at 400°F for 20 minutes, shaking or stirring once or twice for even crisping.
02 - In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook diced bacon until crisp and fat is rendered, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove bacon pieces and set aside, leaving some bacon grease in the skillet.
03 - Add diced onions and mushrooms to the remaining bacon grease in the skillet. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until softened and beginning to release moisture, stirring frequently. Avoid browning.
04 - Push vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add diced chicken, sprinkling garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and seasoned salt evenly over the pieces. Stir to coat thoroughly and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is golden and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
05 - Add air fried potatoes back to the skillet. Pour in 0.25 cup honey mustard sauce and gently stir to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
06 - Sprinkle shredded Colby Jack cheese and crisp bacon over the skillet contents. Transfer skillet to a preheated oven at 350°F for 5 to 10 minutes until cheese is melted and heated through. Remove from oven and drizzle remaining honey mustard sauce on top.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - Dry potatoes thoroughly before air frying to achieve maximum crispiness.
02 - Grate cheese fresh to optimize melting and flavor.
03 - Sauté onions and mushrooms gently to develop the dish's rich base flavor.
