Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts)
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 4 tablespoons butter, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Season chicken thighs with garlic powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken thighs and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and baby potatoes. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and tender.
- Reduce heat to low and add the remaining butter and minced garlic. Stir for 1-2 minutes until garlic is fragrant.
