Cook the Potatoes
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add cubed potatoes and cook until just fork-tender.
Drain well and lightly season with salt.
Air fry at 400°F for 12–18 minutes, shaking halfway, until crispy and golden.
Set aside.
Cook the Chicken
In a large bowl, toss cubed chicken with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, ranch seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add chicken and diced shallot in a single layer.
Cook 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden and fully cooked (internal temp 165°F).
Remove from heat and chop into bite-sized pieces if needed.
Do not overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
Cook the Bacon
Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Chop into small pieces once cooled.
Make the Blender Queso
Add cottage cheese, cream cheese, nacho cheese dip, shredded cheddar, mac & cheese powder, and salsa verde (if using) to a blender.
Blend until completely smooth.
Heat gently in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until thick and creamy.
