Air Fryer Paleo Chicken and Sweet Potato Hash
This paleo-friendly chicken and sweet potato hash is a quick and easy weeknight meal that's perfect for busy families. The chicken is juicy and tender, the sweet potatoes are crispy and caramelized, and the whole dish is full of flavor. Best of all, it's made in the air fryer, so there's no need to heat up the oven.
I've always been a fan of hash, but I've never been a fan of the way it's traditionally made. Frying potatoes in a pan always seemed like a lot of work, and the results were often greasy and soggy. Then I discovered the air fryer, and everything changed. The air fryer cooks food by circulating hot air around it, which means that you can get crispy, evenly cooked food without having to use a lot of oil. I've been using my air fryer to make all sorts of things, from roasted vegetables to chicken wings. But my favorite thing to make in the air fryer is hash. This paleo-friendly chicken and sweet potato hash is a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The chicken is juicy and tender, the sweet potatoes are crispy and caramelized, and the whole dish is full of flavor. Best of all, it's made in the air fryer, so there's no need to heat up the oven.

Why It Works
  • The air fryer circulates hot air around the food, which helps to cook it evenly and quickly.
  • The high heat of the air fryer helps to caramelize the sweet potatoes, giving them a crispy, flavorful exterior.
  • The chicken is cooked in the air fryer until it is cooked through, but it remains juicy and tender.
  • The parsley adds a fresh, herbaceous flavor to the dish.
  • The oregano adds a savory, earthy flavor to the dish.
  • The salt and pepper help to enhance the flavors of the other ingredients.
