Description

A delicious skillet dish featuring chicken, frozen diced potatoes, and creamy chipotle sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Tablespoons oil (olive oil, avocado oil, vegetable oil)
  • 28 ounces frozen diced potatoes with peppers and onions (also called Potatoes O’Brien)
  • ¼ cup diced yellow onions
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed (or thighs or tenderloins)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ cup creamy chipotle sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (more, to taste)
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Add 2 Tablespoons oil to a large skillet over medium to high heat. Once hot, add 28 ounces frozen diced potatoes with peppers and onions and ¼ cup diced yellow onions. Sauté and stir for about 7-10 minutes, or until the potatoes have a little color and the onions are getting translucent.
  2. Add 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt to the skillet.
  3. You can add a bit more oil if the potatoes are starting to stick to the skillet.
  4. Sauté and stir until the chicken juices run clear. You want an internal temperature of the chicken to reach 165° F.
  5. Add in ¼ cup creamy chipotle sauce. Gently stir until combined.
  6. Top with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Turn off the heat and place the lid on top for the cheese to melt.
  7. Drizzle a bit more creamy chipotle sauce on top if you like.
  8. Top with 2 green onions, sliced and serve.

Notes

  • This dish can be served with more cheese on top for extra flavor.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the skillet.
