Ingredients

Chicken

  • 1 lb (500g) skinless and boneless chicken thighs
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Potatoes

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
  • 8 cloves garlic peeled
  • 12 oz (340g) red potatoes cut into wedges
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 dashes Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary roughly chopped, optional
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted

Instructions

  • Marinate the chicken with smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and olive oil. Stir to mix well and set aside.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Add the olive oil and butter, followed by the garlic, potatoes, and the remaining ingredients. Cook the potato wedges until the outside is browned and the inside is cooked through, about 10–15 minutes. Dish out and set aside.
  • In the same skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and butter. Pan-fry the chicken for about 4–5 minutes on each side, turning to cook the other side until golden brown.
  • Push the chicken to one side of the skillet and add the potatoes. Season with additional salt to taste. Turn off the heat and serve the chicken and potatoes immediately, accompanied by a hot sauce of your choice, if desired.

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken with smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, olive oil and salt. A well marinated chicken will ensure that they turn out juicy, moist and delicious.
  • Slice the potatoes into small wedges so they cook evenly on the stove top.
  • If the potatoes are not tender after cooking on the stove top, you can roast in the oven for 5-10 minutes at 425F.
