Description
A delicious and easy-to-make Garlic Butter Chicken and Potatoes Skillet dish that combines tender chicken thighs with flavorful baby potatoes, all cooked in a rich garlic butter sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the baby potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and brown.
- Add the butter, minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary to the skillet with the potatoes. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it among the potatoes. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when cooking the garlic.
- You can substitute the baby potatoes with sweet potatoes or carrots for a different flavor profile.
