Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb (650g) chicken breast, cut into strips
- 1 1/2 lb (650g) baby yellow potatoes, quartered
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter, divided
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped
- Salt and fresh cracked pepper
- Crushed red chili pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos for paleo)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (Sriracha)
- Fresh cracked pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine chicken strips with soy sauce, olive oil, pepper, and hot sauce. Let it marinate while you prepare the potatoes.
- Parboil the potatoes in boiling salted water for about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Add the drained potatoes and cook for 4 minutes. Stir and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until golden and fork-tender. Transfer potatoes to a plate.
- In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter. Add marinated chicken strips in one layer. Add minced garlic and optional chili flakes. Cook each side for 1 minute, until browned.
- Stir in the reserved marinade and cook until the sauce thickens. Add fresh herbs and stir briefly.
- Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet, stir to combine, and heat through. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra crushed chili flakes, herbs, and optional Parmesan cheese.
Notes
- You can substitute coconut aminos if you follow a paleo diet.
- Feel free to add extra herbs or spices based on your preferences.
- For added flavor, sprinkle some Parmesan cheese before serving.
