Garlic Butter Chicken and Potato Skillet is a one-pan, flavor-packed dish combining tender chicken thighs with crispy potatoes, all cooked in a savory garlic butter sauce with fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme. This hearty, comforting meal is quick to prepare and will leave you craving more.

Ingredients

1 ½ pounds small gold potatoes, quartered (about ½” thick)

4 tablespoons ghee, divided

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, minced

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

2 tablespoons parsley, minced, plus more for garnish

1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1” pieces

Sea salt and black pepper, to taste

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Cook the Potatoes: Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the quartered gold potatoes to the skillet and season with sea salt and black pepper. Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Once done, remove them from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Cook the Chicken: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of ghee. Add the cut chicken thighs to the skillet and season with sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes, or until browned and fully cooked through, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the Garlic and Herbs: Once the chicken is cooked, add the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, and parsley to the skillet. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic becomes fragrant and the herbs are well combined with the chicken.
  4. Combine the Potatoes and Chicken: Add the cooked potatoes back to the skillet with the chicken and toss gently to combine. Let everything cook together for another 2-3 minutes to ensure the potatoes are coated in the flavorful garlic butter sauce.
  5. Serve: Garnish with additional fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy this hearty, flavorful meal on its own or with a side salad for a complete meal.

Notes

Add veggies: You can add veggies like bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach for extra color and nutrition.

Spicy kick: If you like heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeño when sautéing the garlic.

Use different herbs: You can experiment with other herbs such as thyme, sage, or oregano for a different flavor profile.

Chicken breasts: Swap out the chicken thighs for boneless, skinless chicken breasts for a leaner option.
