Ingredients
- 1½ pounds baby potatoes halved or quartered, depending on size
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- fresh parsley for garnish
- Lemon wedges for serving
Chicken Marinade
- 4 chicken breasts boneless and skinless
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 4 cloves garlic minced
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the halved baby potatoes and parboil for 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- 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.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 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,
- Add the marinated chicken strips and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- 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.
- 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.
