Everything bagel seasoning brings sesame, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion and salt in one jar. Stirred into a hash at the end, it adds crunch and savory flavor without extra work. The potatoes are steamed in the covered pan first so they turn crisp quickly once the lid comes off.
Why this recipe works
Steaming the potatoes under a lid cooks them through quickly; once the water evaporates, the same pan fries them crisp. Adding the seasoning off the heat keeps the garlic and sesame from burning.
Ingredient notes
Many everything bagel seasonings already include salt, which is why the chicken uses only a little. Check your blend's label if you need it gluten-free.
Common mistakes
- Adding the chicken too early, which steams it with the potatoes.
- Adding the seasoning while the pan is over high heat.
What to serve with it
Top with a fried egg, hot sauce or sliced avocado.
Meal prep
Reheat in a skillet or air fryer to bring back the crispness; the microwave works but softens the potatoes.

Cooking tips
Cut the potatoes small and even so they crisp at the same time. Resist stirring the potatoes too often; they need contact with the pan to brown.
Swaps and variations
Swap half the potatoes for sweet potatoes. Use chicken thighs for juicier meat.
Storing and reheating
Refrigerate within 2 hours for up to 4 days. Reheat until hot throughout (165°F / 74°C).
