Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the buttermilk with salt, pepper, and 1 tsp of Cajun seasoning. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight for extra flavor).

    Prepare the Chicken Bites: In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, remaining Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet (about 1/2 inch deep) over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess. Fry the chicken in the hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Set aside.

      Cook the Potato Hash: In a large skillet, add the olive oil and heat over medium-high. Add the cubed potatoes, sprinkle with salt, and sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown.

        Add Vegetables and Seasoning: Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet with the potatoes. Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the potatoes are tender and crispy.

          Combine and Serve: Once the potatoes and vegetables are cooked and crispy, carefully fold in the golden chicken bites until well mixed. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh chopped green onions.

            Plating: Serve the Golden Cajun Potato Hash with Chicken Bites hot, with optional hot sauce on the side for those who enjoy an extra kick.
