I've reverted back to making homemade meals, although I love Hungry Root and will continue using them bi-weekly. Today we made an easy family dinner recipe. I don't typically make casseroles but this potato casserole was enjoyed by Jace and I.

We made the potatoes in the Air Fryer beforehand so they added a crisp and a delicious herb flavor from the seasoned dill. Our household uses the Air Fryer 3-4x per week. I love that it adds an extra crisp to meals without all of the extra calories and it doesn't involve frying. It's a very light way to make a meal more flavorful and crispy.

 This casserole recipe is interesting because you cook the potatoes and chicken separately and then combine them together in the end. The crispy potatoes add a satisfying crunch, while the creamy Alfredo sauce perfectly coats the tender chicken, creating a balanced and indulgent bite.

This casserole quickly became a family favorite after a particularly busy week of basketball practices. It was easy to prep, and Jace loved the combination of crispy potatoes and creamy Alfredo sauce. Plus, it was quick enough to make even with a packed schedule!

This recipe was inspired by Cook it With Tim, but I made a few changes to suit our family’s taste. I love making these small adjustments! I never add salt in our recipes. Kevin has chronic kidney disease and high blood pressure so I typically omit the salt when possible. 

I added a dill weed seasoning and smoked paprika in our potatoes. We are currently out of olive oil and vegetable oil so I used PAM cooking spray as the oil. Instead of using oils like vegetable or olive oil, I found that PAM cooking spray works really well in the air fryer, giving the potatoes a perfect crisp without adding extra calories or fat.

For the chicken we didn't use minced garlic and I replaced Garlic Parmesan Sauce with Garlic Alfredo Sauce. If you like spice, you can add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.

Feel free to get creative with veggies! Consider adding sautéed mushrooms, spinach, bell peppers, zucchini, or roasted garlic—either cooked alongside the chicken or mixed into the casserole before baking.

This casserole is perfect for busy weeknights—easy to prep and quick to bake!

Ingredients for potatoes:

• 2 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and diced (you can use any potato for this)
• 4 tbsp PAM cooking spray
• *1 tsp dill weed seasoning (This seasoning elevates the flavor of the potatoes and adds a fresh, herbaceous touch. Dill weed adds a lovely, herby note to the potatoes, but feel free to use your favorite seasoning blend if you prefer.)
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika

Note: The dill weed seasoning and smoked paprika are optional but highly recommended for added flavor and aroma!

Ingredients for chicken casserole:
• 3 chicken cutlets, cubed
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
• *1 cup Garlic Alfredo sauce

Directions for Air Frying the Potatoes:
Step 1. Spray the air fryer with 2 tbsp PAM spray. Preheat Air Fryer to 400 degrees. 

Step 2. While that is preheating, prepare the potatoes. Peel the potatoes (I used a carrot peeler) and cube or slice them and place them in a bowl.

Step 3. Spray the potatoes with cooking spray to ensure the seasonings stick well.

Step 4. In the bowl with the potatoes, add all potato ingredients - 1 tsp dill weed seasoning, 1 tsp pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, and 1 tsp smoked paprika. Adjust the seasonings to your personal taste.

Step 5. Mix and toss the potatoes to ensure they are well coated in seasonings.

Step 6. Place in the air fryer and cook on 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Note: check on the potatoes after 10 minutes of cooking and flip them if needed.

Preparing the chicken: 
Step 7. While the potatoes are cooking, you want to prepare your chicken. Cut your chicken cutlets into cubes and season with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp pepper, 1 tsp onion powder, and 1 tsp smoked paprika. 

Note: Feel free to add more seasonings to taste or to suit your preferences

Step 8. Spray a skillet with PAM or cooking spray and add to the stove on medium-high heat. Let butter melt and then add chicken. Cook 3-5 minutes, until fully cooked. 

Step 9. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Once chicken is cooked, add in the Garlic Alfredo sauce and cook for 3-4 minutes. 

Preparing the Alfredo Chicken Potato Casserole:
Step 10. Add to a baking pan, top with potatoes and shredded mozzarella cheese, and bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.

Storage & Reheating Tip:
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For the best results when reheating leftovers, microwave for 2 minutes or until warm. You can also pop it in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to get that crispy texture back. 

Freezing Tip:
Freezing Tip: After assembling the casserole (before baking), allow it to cool. Then wrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, place it in an airtight or freezer-safe container, and store for up to 2 months. To avoid mushy potatoes, undercook them by about 10 minutes before assembling.
