# What You'll Need:

→ Potatoes

01 - 400 grams diced potatoes

→ Oils and Fats

02 - 15 milliliters olive oil
03 - 30 grams unsalted butter

→ Seasonings

04 - 5 grams seasoned salt
05 - 10 grams Cajun seasoning
06 - 2 grams onion powder
07 - 2 grams garlic powder
08 - 3 grams smoked paprika
09 - Pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper

→ Protein

10 - 500 grams boneless skinless chicken breasts

→ Dairy

11 - 120 milliliters heavy whipping cream
12 - 40 grams grated Parmesan cheese

# How to Make It:

01 - Rinse diced potatoes thoroughly to remove excess starch and pat dry. In a bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil and seasoned salt until evenly coated. Cook in an air fryer at 200°C for 20 minutes, shaking occasionally to ensure even cooking.
02 - In a large skillet over medium-high heat, season chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook the chicken for 7 to 8 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 74°C. Remove chicken from skillet and reduce heat to low.
03 - Melt butter in the same skillet. Add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until the mixture simmers and cheese melts completely, forming a smooth sauce. Season with a pinch of Cajun seasoning and smoked paprika, stirring to combine.
04 - Return crispy potatoes and cooked chicken to the skillet. Toss gently in the creamy Cajun sauce until everything is evenly coated. Serve immediately for optimal flavor and texture.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness before cooking to ensure uniform doneness and retain juiciness.
02 - Adjust heat by varying the amount of cayenne pepper in the Cajun seasoning according to taste preferences.
03 - Cook chicken until golden brown on each side to lock in juices and develop a crisp exterior.
04 - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
