A savory, one-skillet breakfast featuring crispy potatoes, seasoned chicken, melty cheddar cheese, and colorful veggies. Optional eggs make it even more filling and delicious.
2 cups Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, diced small
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cubed
1 medium onion, chopped
1 cup bell peppers, chopped (any color)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 tbsp oil or butter
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp dried thyme or rosemary
3–4 eggs (optional)
Chopped parsley or chives (optional garnish)
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken with paprika, salt, and pepper for 6–7 minutes until golden. Remove and set aside.
Add remaining oil and potatoes. Cook undisturbed for 5–6 minutes, then stir occasionally for 10 more minutes until crispy and soft.
Add onions and peppers. Sauté 5–6 minutes. Stir in garlic for the final minute.
Return chicken to the pan and mix well.
Sprinkle cheese on top. Cover to melt for 2 minutes.
Optional: Crack eggs over the top before adding cheese. Cover and cook 6–8 minutes until set.
Garnish with herbs and serve immediately.
