Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb chicken breast, cut into strips provides protein and structure
  • 1.5 lb baby yellow potatoes, quartered adds heartiness and texture
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil enhances moisture
  • 3 tablespoons butter, divided adds richness and flavor
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced contributes robust flavor
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped adds earthy notes
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped imparts woodsy flavor
  • 1 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped adds a hint of brightness
  • to taste Salt and fresh cracked pepper enhances overall flavor
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce provides umami
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce (e.g., Sriracha) adds spice
  • to taste Fresh cracked pepper for seasoning
  • optional Crushed red chili pepper flakes offers heat

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken strips with low-sodium soy sauce, olive oil, fresh cracked pepper, and hot sauce. Allow the chicken to sit while you prepare the potatoes.
  • Parboil the potatoes in boiling salted water for about 8 minutes. Drain the potatoes when done.

Cooking

  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the drained potatoes and cook until golden and fork-tender.
  • In the same skillet, add remaining butter and chicken strips. Cook until chicken is browned, then add minced garlic and optional red chili pepper flakes.
  • Stir in the reserved marinade and cook until sauce thickens and chicken is cooked through. Add fresh herbs and sautéed potatoes back to the skillet.

Serving

  • Serve immediately, garnishing with optional crushed chili pepper, additional fresh herbs, and parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

For best results, marinate chicken for at least 15-20 minutes. Consider adding colorful vegetables for variations.
