BBQ Chicken and Potato Skillet

A simple one-pan meal with juicy chicken and seasoned potatoes, perfect for weeknight dinners or casual meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 5 small to medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Garlic powder
  • Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Heat the skillet. Place a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Heat until the oil shimmers and spreads across the pan.
  2. Season the chicken. Pat the chicken breasts dry, then season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  3. Cook the chicken. Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the hot skillet. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6 to 7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and tent with foil to keep warm.
  4. Add and season the potatoes. In the same skillet, add the cubed potatoes. Season them with salt, pepper, the ranch seasoning mix, onion powder, and a little extra paprika. Stir to coat the potatoes in the remaining oil.
  5. Cook the potatoes. Cook the potatoes for about 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden on the outside and tender when pierced with a fork.
  6. Combine and finish. Slice the cooked chicken into strips or bite-sized pieces and return it to the skillet with the potatoes. Mix well and heat through for a minute or two, then serve hot.

Notes

Let the chicken rest a few minutes for juicier slices. If potatoes stick, loosen them with a wooden spatula and a splash of water.
