Scale
For the Chicken and Potatoes:
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes, season with salt, pepper, and paprika, and cook cut-side down for 5–6 minutes until browned. Flip and cook another 5 minutes until mostly tender. Remove and set aside.
- Cook Chicken: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and cook the chicken for 5–7 minutes, until browned and cooked through. Push chicken to the side.
- Make Garlic Butter Sauce: Add butter and garlic to the skillet, and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Return potatoes to the skillet and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
- Combine and Serve: Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, letting flavors meld. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- You can add green beans, spinach, or broccoli in the last few minutes for extra veggies.
- Swap chicken thighs with sausage or shrimp for a twist.
