Instructions

1
Heat the oven or air fryer to 200 C / 390 F. Line a sheet pan if you are using the oven.
2
Toss the diced chicken with grated garlic, half the onion powder, half the smoked paprika, half the oregano, half the thyme, salt, and pepper; keep the oil and BBQ sauce ready for the pan.
3
In a second bowl, coat the potatoes with half the olive oil, garlic powder, the remaining onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
4
Cook the potatoes until browned at the edges and tender in the middle, about 25 to 30 minutes in the oven or 20 to 22 minutes in an air fryer, shaking or turning once.
5
Heat the remaining olive oil in a wide skillet over high heat. Sear the chicken in batches so it browns instead of steaming, then return all chicken to the skillet.
6
Stir in the BBQ sauce, lower the heat, and simmer briefly until the chicken is coated and cooked through.
7
Fold the cooked potatoes through the saucy chicken. Scatter most of the cheese over the skillet, cover for 1 to 2 minutes, and let the cheese melt.
8
Portion the loaded chicken and potatoes for meal prep. Finish each portion with the remaining cheese, parsley, and a small drizzle of extra BBQ sauce if you want more gloss.

Store and reheat

Refrigerate in airtight containers for up to 4 days. Reheat loosely covered in the microwave until steaming, or use an air fryer or oven for the potato portions if you want the edges to crisp back up; add fresh parsley after reheating when possible. This one is best kept chilled rather than frozen because the potatoes soften after thawing.
