Ingredients:
- 650g chicken breast, cut into strips
- 650g baby yellow potatoes, quartered
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp butter, divided
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tsp fresh oregano, chopped
- Salt and fresh cracked pepper
- Crushed red chili pepper flakes, optional
For marination:
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp hot sauce (we used Sriracha)
- Fresh cracked pepper
How to Prepare Garlic Butter Chicken and Potatoes Skillet:
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken strips with soy sauce, olive oil, pepper, and hot sauce. Set aside to marinate while you cook potatoes.
- Parboil the potatoes in boiling salted water for 8 minutes. This will accelerate cooking time in the skillet and ensure a nice golden crust on the potatoes.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, mix 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter.
- When butter is melted, add drained potatoes. Cook for about 4 minutes, stir and cook an additional 4-5 minutes until potatoes are golden and fork tender.
- Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Keep the same skillet over medium heat and add remaining 2 tablespoons butter, garlic, red chili pepper flakes, and fresh herbs.
- Lay the chicken strips in one layer in the skillet, keeping the drained marinade for later.
- Cook on each side for 1 minute each, until nicely browned – adjust timing depending on how you like your chicken.
- Right before chicken is done, you can stir in the reserved marinade if you like, and cook for one minute.
- Add the potatoes back to the pan and heat through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with more crushed chili pepper, fresh herbs, and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese over the potatoes if you like. Enjoy!
