This quick and easy Chicken & Chorizo Potatoes recipe is made in the air fryer for a super speedy and delicious dinner, packed with flavour.

A pan of cooked loaded air fryer potatoes with chicken and chorizo, topped with melted cheese, on a table, ready to serve.

Chorizo is one of my favourite ingredients to keep in the fridge (hurrah for long shelf life) to ‘perk’ dinner up when I’m feeling less than inspired. It works so well in this Chicken and Chorizo Potatoes dish.

I’ve paired it with chicken and veggies, loaded onto cubes of crunchy air fryer potatoes, for a speedy, satisfying meal in about 30 minutes.

Sarah’s Notes

I am loving the discovery of using our air fryers for making traybake-style dinners.

In the time it takes our mini roast potatoes to cook, we can stir everything else up in the pan for a totally different but delicious meal.

If you like the sound of this simple recipe, you’ll also love my Air Fryer Chicken Fajita Potatoes just as much.

Air Fryer Potatoes with Chicken and Chorizo

Raw ingredients laid out on a white counter, including chicken breasts, potatoes, chorizo, peppers, soft cheese and others.

For the air fryer potatoes:

Potatoes – Go for the kind that when roasted are soft and fluffy on the inside but crispy on the outside, like floury Maris Piper, King Edward or Rooster. Cube these into roughly 1cm squares.
Garlic granules
Olive oil
Sweet smoked paprika

For the chicken and chorizo:

Olive oil
Chicken – This recipe uses 2 breasts for 2 servings. Dice them.
Chorizo – Dice up the ring sausage-style chorizo for this recipe, rather than the finely sliced variety.
Veggies – Peppers, sliced up, and green olives (halved).
Chicken stock – Made from a cube is fine.
Cream cheese – You’ll need about 100g of your favourite kind.
Grated cheese – Any kind, I use cheddar.
To garnish – Chopped parsley.
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper – Season to taste. Be careful to not overdo it as chorizo is salty on its own.
