Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1-1.5 pounds Chicken thighs or breasts, diced
  • 2 medium Potatoes, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 4-5 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons Butter
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 cup Chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • for garnish Fresh parsley

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Chop the chicken and potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and set everything aside.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
  2. Add the diced chicken to the skillet, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
  3. In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt. Toss in the chopped potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes until they start to brown and become tender.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet, pour in the chicken broth, and combine everything well. Let it simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to blend the flavors.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy your one-pan wonder!

Notes

Feel free to swap chicken for your favorite protein, like shrimp or tofu! Ensure potatoes are not overcrowded in the skillet for optimal crispiness. Add garlic towards the end of cooking to avoid burning.
