Cheesy Chicken and Potatoes

This is another fail-safe, must-make, go-to recipe. I created it after witnessing a roommate during my freshman year make something somewhat similar and much more basic, and have repeatedly made it since then (each time enjoying just as much, if not more). Tender, juicy chicken and spicy, herbed potatoes are engulfed by warm, melty cheddar cheese. This dish is warm, filling, and full of flavor; it won't stick around long once it's made! I haven't found anything to really go with it as a side, so I just sit down to a bowl full of just cheesy chicken and potatoes.

2 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
2-3 Potatoes (medium), peeled and cubed
1 1/2 C Grated Cheddar Cheese
1 Clove Garlic
1 Small-Medium Onion, chopped
1/2 tsp Paprika
1/4 tsp Chipotle Powder
3/4 tsp Salt
Basil
Oregano
Splash of Olive Oil

In a large bowl toss potato cubes in a small bit of olive oil (just enough to coat). Add salt, paprika, and chipotle. Sprinkle desired amount of oregano and basil and mix until all potatoes are coated. Bake at 375 on a greased pan until tender (about 30 minutes).

In a large skillet (one with high edges) saute garlic in a little bit of olive oil. Add chicken. When chicken is half done add onion and continue to cook until chicken is done and onions are tender. Add cooked potatoes to the pan. Take the pan off the heat and add cheese. Mix until everything is coated with melted cheese.
