  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Start by washing your baby potatoes thoroughly. Depending on their size, halve or quarter them to ensure even cooking. Mince the garlic and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Whisk it all together until well-blended. This will be the marinade for your chicken, adding a sweet and savory flavor.
  3. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or you can prepare it ahead of time and refrigerate it overnight for deeper flavor.
  4. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the halved or quartered potatoes. Season them with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.
  5. Once the potatoes are done, push them to the side of the skillet. Add the marinated chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  6. After the chicken is cooked through, toss the potatoes and chicken together in the skillet for a minute to meld the flavors. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges for an extra zesty kick.
  7. Serve your Chicken And Potato Skillet warm, and watch as your family digs in with delight.

Notes

  • Feel free to add seasonal vegetables like bell peppers or green beans for extra nutrition.
  • For a juicier option, swap chicken breasts for thighs.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
