Main Ingredients
  • 3.5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2.5 pounds potatoes diced into 1/2 to 1-inch pieces

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts on one side until golden, about 4 minutes.

  3. Top each chicken breast with butter cubes and pour lemon juice over the potatoes and chicken.
  4. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and potatoes are tender.
  5. Garnish with parsley if desired and serve immediately.
