- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt

Garlic Parmesan Sauce
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- 1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Toss the baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Air fry for 12-15 minutes until crispy.

- 6. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them.
- 7. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and cover with a lid until the cheese melts.
- 8. Add the air-fried potatoes to the skillet and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, you can substitute the baby potatoes with sweet potatoes or your favorite root vegetables. This dish pairs well with a side of fresh salad or crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce.
