Garlic Butter Chicken and Potatoes Skillet: An Incredible 5-Star Recipe

Ingredients

– 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
– 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 lemon, juiced (optional)

Instructions

Creating Garlic Butter Chicken and Potatoes Skillet is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Mince the garlic and chop fresh parsley.
2. Season the Chicken: In a bowl, season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs.
3. Cook the Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the halved baby potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to brown.
4. Make Space for Chicken: Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining olive oil and the seasoned chicken thighs. Sear each side for 5-6 minutes until golden brown.
5. Add Garlic: Reduce the heat to medium, and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring to prevent burning.
6. Combine with Butter: Add the butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt and combine with the chicken and potatoes. Optionally, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dish for added flavor.
7. Finish Cooking: Cover the skillet and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
8. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley on top before serving to brighten up the dish.

Following these steps will ensure you’re on your way to making an incredible Garlic Butter Chicken and Potatoes Skillet!
