Ingredients
  

  • pounds Baby Potatoes halved or quartered, depending on size
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • to taste Salt and Pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
  • Fresh Parsley for garnish
  • Lemon Wedges for serving
  • 4 breasts Chicken boneless and skinless
  • ¼ cup Olive Oil
  • 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce low sodium
  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced

Equipment

  • 12-inch cast-iron skillet

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the halved baby potatoes and parboil for 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. While the potatoes are boiling, prepare the marinade by whisking together ¼ cup olive oil, soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and a pinch of pepper in a bowl. Toss the chicken strips in the marinade and let sit while you sear the potatoes, at least 10 minutes.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the drained potatoes, cut-side down. Sear without stirring for 3-4 minutes until they develop a golden-brown crust. Flip the potatoes, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the marinated chicken strips and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Push the chicken to one side of the skillet, add the potatoes back and allow them to cook together for another 5 minutes. Check the seasoning and adjust with more salt and pepper if necessary and red pepper flakes.
  6. Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • Adjust Spice Levels: Feel free to tweak the amount of red pepper flakes based on your heat preference.
  • Consistent Potato Size: Ensure the potatoes are uniformly cut for even cooking and the best texture.
  • Marination Time: For a deeper flavor, marinate the chicken longer, ideally overnight.
  • Serving Suggestion: Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and parsley for an added zesty and fresh flavor.
  • Storage Tip: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy within 3 days.
