Method

Preheat your oven to 220°C (200°C fan) or set your air fryer to 200°C/390°F.
Pat the potatoes dry. Toss them with olive oil (if using), salt, Italian herbs, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Bake or air fry for 20–22 minutes, turning them once, until they are golden and have a crust.
Toss the cooked potatoes with grated Parmesan cheese and keep them warm.
Mix the cubed chicken with garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, fine salt, black pepper, and olive oil.
Sear the chicken in batches over medium heat with a little light butter for about 5 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through.
Reduce the heat. Add the honey and sugar-free BBQ sauce to the skillet. Toss the chicken for 1 minute until it is glossy and well coated. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
In a blender, combine the blended fat-free cottage cheese with milk, dried Italian herbs, and garlic powder. Blend until smooth. Stir in the finely grated Parmesan cheese.
If desired, gently warm the creamy sauce over very low heat. Do not let it boil. Season to taste.
Divide the potatoes among 5 containers. Top with the glazed chicken.
Spoon the creamy sauce over the chicken or pack it separately. Garnish with extra parsley or chives if desired.
Chill the meal quickly and refrigerate for up to 4 days. When ready to eat, reheat the chicken and potatoes. Add the sauce after heating to maintain the best texture.

Notes

This dish is designed for meal prepping. Store the creamy sauce separately if you prefer to add it after reheating to keep its texture. Enjoy this flavorful and convenient meal!
