Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 lb baby potatoes, halved

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup chicken broth

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prep the Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add halved baby potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and fork-tender, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove potatoes from the skillet and set aside.

    Cook the Chicken: In the same skillet, add the chicken thighs. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and half of the thyme and rosemary. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside with the potatoes.

      Create the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the now-empty skillet, reduce heat to low and add the butter. Allow it to melt, then stir in the minced garlic, remaining thyme, and rosemary. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

        Combine Ingredients: Pour in the chicken broth, stirring to combine and deglaze the skillet. Return the chicken and potatoes to the skillet, coating them in the garlic butter sauce. Let it simmer for about 3-5 minutes to heat through and absorb flavors.

          Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty touch. Enjoy your delicious garlic butter chicken and potatoes skillet hot!
