What you'll need.

  • 500 g potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 500 g chicken fillet, sliced
  • 3 shallots, chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • 60 ml cream
  • 120 g cheese, grated
  • 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp dried marjoram
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided

How to make it.

  1. Toss the potatoes and shallots with half the oil, salt and pepper, then air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 6 minutes.
  2. Season the chicken with marjoram, paprika, cumin, salt, pepper and the remaining oil.
  3. Add the chicken to the potatoes and air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 12 minutes, stirring once.
  4. Beat the eggs with the cream, grated cheese and chopped parsley.
  5. Pour the mixture over the chicken and potatoes and air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 5 minutes more, until set and golden.

My tips.

Slice the potatoes thinly and evenly so they become tender at the same time as the chicken. For a lighter variation, replace the cream with milk and use a little less cheese.

Good to know.

Can I prepare the ingredients ahead?
Slice the chicken and shallots in advance, but keep cut potatoes covered with cold water until cooking.

Can I use chicken thighs?
Boneless thighs are an excellent substitute and will make the bake especially juicy.

What vegetables can I add?
Thinly sliced bell pepper, mushrooms, or small broccoli florets all work well.
