A cozy, all-in-one meal featuring savory chicken and golden, tender potatoes, ideal for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 5 small to medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Garlic powder
  • Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Heat the skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom. Heat until the oil shimmers but does not smoke.
  2. Season the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  3. Cook the chicken: Add the seasoned chicken to the hot skillet and cook for 6 to 7 minutes on one side until browned. Flip and cook for another 6 to 7 minutes until cooked through.
  4. Rest the chicken: Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest on a plate.
  5. Add potatoes to the skillet: In the same skillet, add the cubed potatoes and olive oil if needed. Spread into a single layer.
  6. Season the potatoes: Sprinkle with salt, pepper, ranch seasoning mix, onion powder, and additional paprika. Toss to coat.
  7. Cook the potatoes: Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender.
  8. Combine chicken and potatoes: Slice the cooked chicken and return to the skillet. Heat through.
  9. Serve: Serve hot straight from the skillet.
