Ingredients

Potatoes:

1.5 lb baby gold potatoes quartered
1/2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp italian seasoning
salt and pepper to taste

Chicken:

1 lb chicken thighs or chicken breast
1/2 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp italian seasoning
1 lemon juiced
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Place a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the butter has melted, add the potatoes and allow to cook 5-7 minutes.
Add the remaining seasonings to the potatoes and stir well to coat. Allow to cook an additional 4-5 minutes. Time will be dependent on how thickly cut your potatoes are. Keep an eye on them.
Once the potatoes have reached a fork-tender texture, remove from pan to a plate and cover. Return the pan to the burner and add 1/2 tablespoon of butter.
Season the chicken thighs (or breasts if using) with the seasonings listed. When the butter has melted, add each chicken breast to the pan skin-side down. Squeeze the lemon juice all over the chicken thighs and into the pan.
Allow to cook 4-5 minutes before turning to cook an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side. Time will be dependent on how large the thighs are (or how thick the chicken breast is). Make sure the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
Move the thighs to one side of the pan and add the potatoes to the cleared side. Allow them to warm before serving.
Garish with additional lemon juice and Italian seasoning.
