Garlic Butter Chicken Strips

A delicious one-pan dish, superbly spiced and wonderfully warm for a cold winter evening.

Preparation time 30 minutes .. Baking 40 minutes

INGREDIENTS .. 2 pers

  • 650 g chicken breast, cut into strips
  • 650 g baby yellow potatoes, quartered
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp butter, divided
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh oregano, chopped
  • salt and fresh cracked pepper

THE MARINADE

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • fresh cracked pepper

PREPARATION

In a large bowl, combine the chicken strips with soy sauce, olive oil, pepper, and mustard. Set aside to marinate while you cook potatoes.

Parboil the potatoes in boiling salted water for 8 minutes. This will accelerate cooking time in the skillet and ensure a nice golden crust on the potatoes.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, mix 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter. When butter is melted, add drained potatoes. Cook for about 4 minutes, stir and cook an additional 4-5 minutes until potatoes are golden and fork tender. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Keep the same skillet over medium heat and add remaining 2 tablespoons butter, garlic, red chili pepper flakes, and fresh herbs. Lay the chicken strips in one layer in the skillet, keeping the drained marinade for later. Cook on each side for 1 minute each, until nicely browned – adjust timing depending on how you like your chicken.

Right before chicken is done, you can stir in the reserved marinade if you like, and cook for one minute. Add the potatoes back to the pan and heat through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.

Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with more crushed chili pepper, fresh herbs, and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese over the potatoes if you like. Enjoy!
