Ingredients

For the potatoes:

  • 600 g Potatoes Cut into 1cm cubes
  • 2 tsp Garlic granules
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil

For the chicken:

  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 Red onion Diced
  • 2 Garlic cloves Crushed
  • 4 Chicken breasts Diced
  • 2 Peppers Diced
  • 3 tbsp Fajita seasoning Or 1 packet
  • 150 ml Hot chicken stock
  • 100 g Cream cheese
  • 150 g Grated cheddar cheese
  • Chopped coriander or parsley To garnish
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper Season to taste

Instructions

  • Toss the diced potatoes with the garlic granules and olive oil and put in the airfryer at 200℃ for 20 - 25 minutes until soft in the middle but crispy around the edges.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium high and fry the onion and garlic for a few minutes before adding the chicken.
  • Cook for 5 minutes, then add the peppers and fajita seasoning and cook for 5 minutes more until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Stir in the stock and cream cheese and leave to simmer for a few minutes before stirring in the potatoes.
  • Top with the grated cheddar and put under the grill for a few minutes until golden. Then garnish with chopped coriander.

Notes

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. Cubed these.
Fajita: Use seasoning or a packet mix.
Chicken stock: Made from a cube is fine.
